Fencing

Trinity again offers an after school fencing program that is both fun and instructive. You have seen your children swashbuckling at home, now you can give them a chance to do it for real in a safe environment.
Taught by instructors from Tim Weske's SwordPlay Fencing Studio, students are able to integrate their mind and body and as a result, they gain balance, better reflexes, confidence, and self-esteem. They learn to fence through organized fencing games designed to be fun while they learn. The class is a fully enjoyable experience, and at the same time exposes the children to the sense of respect and discipline that have always been equally important aspects of the sport.

Q: How long do sessions last?
A: Sessions usually run in 8 week blocks or more, depending on your needs.

Q: Is it safe?
A: Students are taught basic safety rules before they ever pick up a weapon. These rules are constantly enforced and proper safety equipment is worn for each activity (masks, jackets, etc).

Q: Are there levels for beginners and advanced students?
A: No. Fencing is a cyclical sport and children who are continuing from session to session will be honing the skills that new students are studying.

Q: Do we need to buy equipment for all of the students?
A: No. SwordPlay Studio provides all of the equipment needed for the program.
