Below are the programs that the Academy is providing.  Please ask us questions and talk to us if you do not understand the programs or where you or your fencer should be.  Academy coaches are always glad to help you figure out where you need to be, answer questions for future competitors, and assist with purchasing your own equipment.

First Fencers:
This program is a program for first time fencers 9 and under.  The program allows these young fencers to have fun and learn fencing.  It is highly repetitive for this age group.  After they reach ten your coach will evaluate with you whether the student is ready to move up to the primary programs.  This program is not always in session so please see the class list to see if it is in session.

Recreational Fencing Program / Academy Membership:
This program is designed for fencers that just want to come have fun and fence.  If the fencer just wants to recreationally fence, experiment to see if he/she likes it, or if schedules prevent more intense programs then this is the program for you or your fencer.
