Our practices are held on most Sundays at the Browns River Middle School in Jericho Vt.   All are welcome!  We have loaner gear available for anyone who would like to try their hand at fencing.  

The first hour of our practices (2-3) is devoted to youth fencing.  The adult practice goes from 3-5.   

Our youth fencing program is open to kids ages 6-17.  All youth must be accompanied and supervised by a parent/guardian.  

Getting Started

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!
