Do you plan on attending Summer Nationals? How about competing over the summer or next season? Just want to start your summer training with a bang? Either way, this camp is for you!
This camp focuses on footwork, conditioning, weapon skills, and tactical strategy for competition. If your future goals are to qualify for events, earn regional or national points, or take home some "hardware" (preferably the gold kind!) then this camp is an important stepping stone on your path to success. It provides competitive bouting instruction, strategy, and scenarios to help you achieve success on the strip, regardless of your level of competition. All skill levels past introductory are welcome regardless of club affiliation. Must be a USFA member (any level) to attend. It is suggested that students have a full set of electric fencing equipment. Guest Coach Jennie Salmon, Head Coach of Temple University Fencing, will attend! |
