Beginners Classes
We periodically hold 5 session beginners classes; the cost is $15 per student. We will be
running another beginners' class starting October. If you would like to be included in email announcements
of beginner's classes and events please email Coach Davis . See below for details:
DATES: October 2008
TIME: 6-8PM
LOCATION: NHCBC
ITEMS NEEDED FOR THE FIRST PRACTICE: loose
jeans/sweatpants, t-shirt, tennis shoes
I
will have the rules, medical waivers, etc, at the first practice for everyone. Nothing money wise is due at the first
practice because I like everyone to get to know what it’s all about before they commit anything to our club. At
the second practice $12 for a glove and $15 for the beginners’ classes is due. Checks are made payable to “Amber
Davis”. The medical waiver (which also states that the fencer has read and agrees to the safety rules of
the club) is also due at the second practice. No one is allowed to use the foils until they have turned in their dues
and medical waivers. Boys will have to wear cups when we start using the foils. The club has some chest protectors for
the girls (also required protective equipment) that fit into pockets in the fencing jackets; these can be ordered from any
fencing equipment company if the fencer would like to have their own. This protection will not be needed at the first
or second class as we will still be going over the basics of footwork and hand positions.
Schedule
Tuesdays 6-8 pm and Fridays 6-8 pm at NHCBC. (No fencing on the 3rd Tuesday of every month)
