Junior (Ages 8-13) Beginner's Fencing Course Term 2 - November 2024

Description

The course takes place every Friday for six sessions 6:30 PM-7:30 PM at Cotham School. This course is suitable for those who have completed the first term of the beginner's programme at BFC & would like to continue their fencing journey.

This term focuses on refining the skills that were developed in the first term, spending more time practising with the electronic scoring equipment, developing a greater awareness of tactics, and improving their refereeing skills and understanding of the rules.

The course is led by Joseph Pearce who coached their first term, however, several dates are likely to be covered by other coaching staff while Joe is away on international refereeing & coaching duties. All the substitute coaches have been selected & briefed by Joe and are experienced and suitably qualified to continue delivering fun and high-quality teaching.

All the necessary equipment is still provided at no extra cost, we only ask that children wear suitable clothes for exercising that cover the legs (no shorts, please) and bring a water bottle.

At the end of this term, all those who want to continue will graduate into the main junior club which runs 6:30 PM-8:00 PM in the same hall. More details on this will be provided in the last couple of weeks of the course, before the club takes a break for the holidays.

If you need to get in touch, please email beginners.bristolfencing@gmail.com

I look forward to meeting many of you and your children soon,

Joe
