Perse Prep Fencing Club for children in years 5&6
This course is for children attending Perse Prep School
The school will invoice you for payment but you must book here so that we have your details and to include you in the wider activities of Cambridge Sword and most importantly ensure you are insured.
This will be a dynamic, buzzing fencing club with fun friendly inter-school, local and regional competitions available.
All kit is supplied at the session. You must wear long tracksuit trousers, pockets taped or sewn up and trainers. Remember to bring plenty of water, a dry T-shirt and warm top/coat to put on as you leave.
If you have fenced less than one term you will receive temporary (10 weeks) free membership of the British Fencing Association which you must maintain at an annual cost of £15.00 from your second term of fencing.
(Membership of the BFA is mandatory for all members of clubs affiliated to the British Fencing Association - it gives many benefits and most importantly, insurance.)
Fencing is fun, mentally taxing and physically demanding but it attracts all shapes and sizes – there is no standard athletic type that is successful at fencing. It appeals to those who are sporty and non-sporty and it can instil a great sense of accomplishment, develop flexibility, posture and strength.
We use the British Fencing Association syllabus and provide fencers with the opportunity to achieve achievement awards in their first years of fencing and the opportunity to join the evening sessions in Cambridge if/when they feel ready.
This session is coached by Sarah Paveley a two time Commonwealth silver medalist and experienced and enthusiastic coach.
