BEGINNER SUMMER PROGRAMS
Summer - the best time to try a new sport!
... Welcome to the World of Saber Fencing!
Our Beginner Summer Programs are designed for new students without any prior fencing experience who want to learn a new sport in a fun and engaging manner.
Students learn about the long history of swordsmanship and engage in a variety of tactical and physical games. In the span of just five short days, beginning students will become fencers who will have mastered the fundamentals of the sport. All equipment is provided.
Our experienced coaches teach the basic skills of Olympic fencing: footwork, blade moves, and the foundations of strategic thinking. Throughout the program, students will experience the values of true sportsmanship and camaraderie. On the last day, students will fence an in-house tournament on fully equipped fencing strips with Olympic-standard electric scoring equipment.
PLEASE NOTE: minimum age of 7 years: Fencing is a challenging sport with rules that can be hard to understand and moves that can be difficult to execute for young children.
Students may register for multiple weeks.
