(All checks, unless stated otherwise are to be made out to Head Coach Amber Davis)
1. $15 for beginner’s class – due no later than the
second class/ $10 per month per person every month thereafter (families with 3+ fencers pay $30 per month).
This goes for club insurance, dues, and
equipment.
2. $8.93 for a fencing glove – due no later than the second
practice
This is the only piece of equipment that the fencer is required to purchase.
If a fencer wishes to order equipment they can order on their own or through the club from companies which offer club
discounts.
3. Medical form – due no later than the second practice
No student will be allowed to do
anything involving blades until these three requirements have been met.
4. USFA Form – this is not required but is recommended as
it provides insurance and no fencer can compete in competition without it.
~Note that checks sent in with the USFA
forms are to be made out to the United States Fencing Association
~A copy of this form has been included with
the medical form. Additional copies may be obtained from Ms. Davis, or the official
USFA website: www.USFencing.org (click
on “Info for Members” on the left sideà choose “forms” à click on “USFA (current year) Membership form”
Note: you need Adobe Acrobat Viewer to view
this form. There is a link at the bottom of the forms page that will take you
to Adobe’s free download section)
~Generally the application will take about
4-5 weeks to process. When the fencer receives their USFA cards they are to give
Ms. Davis a photocopy of their card and to show her the actual card.
Fencers
who do not submit this cannot compete in USFA events.
5.
Fundraisers - Participation in fundraisers is optional but encouraged – We will have2-3 fundraisers
per school year selling candy and/or fudge.
This
is for North Hills School District
members and is not required of non NHSD fencers.
6. Attendance
~Will be taken at every practice
~This is for the coaching staff’s
benefit as an aid for instruction
7. Transportation
~Students should always have a ride
home from practice. Coming to practice and asking around for a ride home is not
acceptable. Parents must be on time to pick up their children. The coaching staff is not paid for their time
and do not have time to wait with students for rides home. However, if there
are no other groups in the facility at the end of fencing practice we cannot leave the fencers on their own outside. Therefore it is imperative that those picking up the fencers be on time.
