Description:

PRACTICE Program - BADGE LEVEL FENCING - Orange / Green / Blue / Red / Black Badges

Throughout the PRACTICE Program participants will navigate and advance through our Badge Program. Fencers will practice a progression of Fencing skills including fundamental techniques and tactics, which enables them to participate in camps, events and mini-competitions. Elements of strategy, bladework and footwork are emphasized and Fencing on a wireless scorebox is practiced. While having fun, in a team environment, participants develop physical literacy, self-confidence, coordination and perseverance. This is where becoming a ‘Fencer’ starts to take shape and develop.

NOTE: From the Orange Badge on, as your Fencer progresses through the Badge Program, Badges are not awarded in just one 6 week session (like White and Yellow), but based on when their Coach awards them their Badge (there are many factors in this, including skill review and how many times per week a participant is Fencing). Once completing the Yellow Badge, you will register for "BADGE LEVEL FENCING" each session go forward.
