New Fencer Programs
During the school year, we have 2 ways for for aspiring fencers to try fencing and get a feel for our club: Free Trial Sessions and Intro Lessons
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.
These trials are offered on a monthly basis on select Saturdays from 11am-12pm and are limited to 8 fencers.
Trials will be offered on the following Saturdays for the reminder of the year:
Aug 23, Sep 13, Oct 11, Nov 8, Dec 6
Youth Trial Classes (ages 6-10)
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.
