All Fencing Classes are $60 per month for one class per week (which includes Open Fencing Night on Friday nights).  If participants would like to register for two or more classes per week, the fee will be $75 per month.  All participants must pay for all three months (June – August = $180) at the beginning of the semester.

"Introduction to Fencing" is a one month long “introduction” to fencing.  The $70.00 fee includes one hour of instruction per week.  This can be repeated by the student as long as they choose, however at the beginning of each month we start from the beginning again.  Once the student is ready they can join the "club" whenever they choose at a prorated price.  “Introduction to Fencing” students are not required to have a USFA Membership. 
 
  Fees include:
1. Shared use of fencing masks, jacket and underarm protector, women's chest protector, and the appropriate foils, sabers, or epees, and all of the apparatus and scoring devices needed for you to participate in electrically scored fencing bouts while in class.
2. We will help provide basic equipment and back up weapon and body cord for away competitions, but you will be expected to outfit yourself in a reasonable period of time. We reserve the right to apply "rental fees" to equipment borrowed repeatedly.

You will need to provide:
1. Shoes appropriate for fencing. (Usually low-cut tennis-type, or indoor soccer style ).
Wrestling, skate board, high top basketball shoes and all types of boots or sandals are not allowed.
2. "Warm up pants" or fencing knickers. NO jeans, pants with loops and/or low pockets.
3. A fencing glove which you may purchase from us for a cost of $15.00
