The junior club has a structured programme where members progress between coached groups according to their ability.

Once members are proficient at foil they may choose to take up sabre or epee. Our aim is to prepare juniors for the senior club and also to ensure they achieve their potential in the sport.

Juniors start between the ages of 8 and 16. The club holds four courses for junior beginners throughout the year. The courses last 6 weeks and give a grounding in fencing with the foil. At the end of the course the fencer can join the club.

The Club has applied forClubMark accreditation, a quality standard applied to sports clubs with a junior section. Parents can be assured that their children belong to a safer club. Members can be sure their club is a well managed club, striving to offer the best in coaching and sports development.
