Free Fencing Classes
for Girls 11 to 13
No Kidding!
We
are giving away a free month of fencing classes and equipment use to
girls ages 11 to 13 who like competing in athletics. Why? Athletics
always has more boys then girls. The Minnesota Sword Club is only 22%
female and we want to increase that number. We are providing this month
of classes to encourage girls to try the sport at no cost. They will
learn the basics of foil, saber and epee fencing. We are hoping that
many of the girls will like fencing and the Minnesota Sword Club so
much they will then join after the month. We offered this same class in
January and found great success so we are repeating it.
The number of girls in this class is limited to 20. They will need to wear sneakers, long athletic pants (no shorts or jeans) and a sweat shirt. We provide the fencing equipment. The class will meet three times a week for four weeks on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The class will be between 5:15 and 6:15 pm, April 14 to May 8. Please share this information with friends. It is always nice to carpool.
Parent are always welcome to watch practices. Also, click on this Neighborhood link to the neighborhood page for things to do within a block of the Minnesota Sword Club. There are shops for you to browse while your fencer is practicing and 10 restaurants in the area. The Minnesota Sword Club has been at this location for over 25 years.
Dates: April 14 to May 8 (Full)
Days: Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
Time: 5:15 to 6:15
