New Fencers: How to Start

Youth Fencers
  • COVID UPDATE, June 1, 2021: AFC has temporarily suspended our free trial and youth beginner sessions. Please check back with us in mid-to-late August for updates on our programs for beginner youth fencers.
  • Open House and Free Trial Classes: AFC periodically offers open house sessions and free trial classes for prospective fencers. Due to COVID we have temporarily suspended these options and hope to resume them in fall of 2021.
  • Trial lessons: If you miss the free class sessions or open house, AFC offers individual and small-group trial lessons for youth fencers. Contact us for more details. 
  • We do not offer trials to new fencers from May thru August. Fencers who want to try fencing over the summer can look into our summer camps.
​
​Adult Fencers
AFC has temporarily suspended our Adult Beginner classes. If you are an adult who has fenced before, contact us for info on how to join one of our ongoing programs. Beginner adults and teens (13 and up) can schedule 1:1 individual lessons as an introduction to the sport and a way to get quickly skilled up enough to be able to join our ongoing training sessions.
