School Holiday Workshops
We will be running two school holiday workshops suitable for beginners. Class size is limited to ten fencers, so bookings are essential!
You’ll learn the basics of the fencing with the epee and sabre, and get a chance to fence a real fencing match. All equipment is provided, and the room we have booked has air-conditioning, because wearing the safety gear in a hot room is no fun.
When: Tuesday 23rd January
Times: 10am-11:15 Ages 5-9, 11:30-1pm – ages 9-13
Where: Sportslink, 2 Hanover Road, Vermont South
What to Bring: A water bottle, and arrive dressed for sport. ie: sneakers, t-shirt, track-pants. The 9-13 age group should avoid wearing short pants if possible. U9’s can wear shorts.
Cost: $20 per person

Coach Development Day
Our first session of the year will see our coaches engaged in some personal development and practicing their coaching techniques.
This is also a session for prospective coaches and coaching assistants, including parents and teachers interested in obtaining a Level 0 Community coaching qualification. You can find out what’s involved, ask questions, and have a go.
Fencers are also welcome to come along! There’s a good chance you will pick up some free lessons when the coaches want to practice. Pistes will be available for you to fence on.
