Intro to Fencing - Ages 6-18+

Exeter Fencing welcomes participants of all experience levels to come and check out the Olympic sport of fencing!  Fencers will learn mobility, fencing footwork, bladework, and competitive tactics. Often likened to ‘physical chess,’ fencing is the ultimate sport for conditioning the body and stimulating the mind, developing balance, coordination, focus, and discipline in a fun and engaging environment. Our program is led by Patrick Reardon and Jeremy Goun, who together bring over 40 years of fencing experience to the program. In addition to coaching youth fencing for over two decades, Patrick is an international referee representing Team USA Fencing and has previously served as the Assistant Coach of Brown University's Fencing Team. Jeremy is the Chairman of the Connecticut Division of USA Fencing and currently serves as Assistant Coach of Yale University’s Fencing Team.

All safety and sport equipment is provided. Participants must wear athletic shoes.
