Fencing practices are on hold for this summer, but may be held if we can schedule a Fencing Marshal.
The first thing people ask is “What do I need to get started?” The list is actually really short. Most of the gear that you will need we provide with our shire’s loaner gear. When you come to try out fencing for the first time, please bring:
- Long Pants
- Closed-toed, Non-Marking Shoes
- Crew Socks
- Athletic Cup (if appropriate)
- Water
When you’re ready to start putting together your own kit, let us know and we will be happy to point you in the right direction!
