Trumpington After School session for children in years 7 and upwards.
Open to pupils attending Trumpington Community College.
This session is discounted from our normal rates by 20% as we are very keen to develop fencing at Trumpington and receive a great deal of support from the school.
There may be further financial support available from our fencing fund which has been created to help those who might find the costs a struggle. TCC are helping us with the management and allocation.
This session is coached by Archie Broughton our new enthusiastic coach fully equipped with a great fencing pedigree, coaching qualifications and a Sports Science degree.
A dynamic, buzzing fencing club and part of the very successful Cambridge Sword Club. Fun friendly local and regional competitions available
All kit is supplied at the session.
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 Academy of Fencing syllabus and provide fencers with the opportunity to achieve the bronze, silver and gold performance awards in their first years of fencing and the opportunity to join the evening sessions in Cambridge if/when they feel ready.
If you have fenced for more than one term you MUST be a member of the BFA and confirm your membership number in your booking info. If you have fenced less than one term you will receive temporary (10 weeks) free membership which you can continue for one year for c£15.00.
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.
We provide all the kit but 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.
