How to Choose My Membership Level- Our Recommendations
- Two weekly sessions and a private lesson.
- Rent your fencing gear and consider buying it after a few months.
- Attend our in-club D’Artagnan Series for Novice Fencers as soon as you join the club (under the age of 14).
Students can remain in this class for a full season, after which they are promoted to the Teens Advanced program.
Those who are more competitive may request an earlier evaluation, alongside their fencing plans/goals.
Benefits of Starting Fencing in Your Teen Years
Socialization among teens has declined since the COVID-19 pandemic, and fencing is the ideal sport for connecting the teen generation across body types, genders, and physical abilities.
Everyone is welcome, and everyone has the opportunity to learn and grow with a sport that has no age barriers and can be practiced for life. USA Fencing offers a referee program that allows people as young as 13 to become certified. Referees earn income through USFA-sanctioned competitions, in- and out-of-state.
Fencing is not only a way to keep healthy and fit, but to be a part of an inclusive community, to acquire skills that stay with you for life, and to get you rewarded in a multitude of ways, either as a referee, a coach, or a mentor.
