Registration

The Fencing Trainer (TFT)

At NCF Boulder, we use www.thefencingtrainer.com (TFT) to manage sign-ups for all classes, lessons, and training sessions. The system helps us plan balanced drills, assign the right number of coaches, and create the best possible experience for every fencer. It’s simple to use once you know the basicshere’s how it works, and what to do if you need to register at the last minute.

Step-by-Step Setup

Create an Account

  • Register under the fencer’s own name (not the parent’s). Each fencer must have their own account.

Sign Up for Training

  • Log in to view the current schedule.

  • Register for your class, lesson, or session up to 12:00 PM on the day of training

  • If you need to cancel, do so through the site before the cutoff.

  • If you miss the deadline, email ncfboulder@gmail.com or text 303-641-6557 to check availability.

Confirm Registration

  • Open “My Schedule” to confirm your registration. If it’s not listed, you are NOT registered.

A Note on Last-Minute Attendance

We ask all fencers to sign up for classes, lessons, and sessions through TFT so we can plan effectively. Knowing who’s coming helps us set balanced drills, ensure enough coaches are available, and keep practices running smoothly.

We understand that emergencies and last-minute changes happen. If you can’t register before the cutoff, please email ncfboulder@gmail.com or text 303-641-6557. We’ll do our best to accommodate you when space and staffing allow.

The system exists for everyone’s benefit-the more notice we have, the better we can design training that challenges and supports each fencer.
