New Fencer Programs
During the school year, we have 3 ways for for aspiring fencers to try fencing and get a feel for our club: Free Trial Sessions, Intro Lessons, and a Beginner Series
AFC periodically offers free trial sessions for youth fencers (ages 6-10).
Prospective fencers can participate in classes at no cost, to see if fencing is a good fit for you. These sessions are offered on a space-available basis and may not be offered if our youth classes are full.
Our next free trial classes will be posted soon. In the meantime, feel free to book an intro lesson or email us at admin@austinfencersclub.com for other options!
Youth Trial Classes (ages 6-10)
The Beginner Series for ages 12 and up is a small group lesson format.
There are 6 classes in a series. New fencers will learn foundational skills and techniques with a group of peers. At the conclusion of the series, your fencer will be ready to join our ongoing classes with their cohort. This is a great way for your youth to gain skills and connect with other new fencers to build friendships.
Series dates for spring are Tuesdays Mar 24-Apr 14 at 6pm. Space is limited to 8 fencers.
Beginner Series (ages 12+)
1-on-1 Intro Lessons (ages 6+)
Intro lessons are a fantastic way for fencers of any age to learn the basics and get a feel for what fencing is all about.
These 1-on-1 sessions are the best way for a brand new fencer to gain the skill to join our ongoing classes. Your coach will discuss next steps upon completion of your lesson.
Expect to take at least 4 of these lessons in order to be able to consider joining one of our classes.
