In Orange Badge+ fencers continue through the subsequent badge levels building on what was learned in the previous badges.
At the Orange Badge+ level fencers are encouraged to practice 2 days per week, participate in events and camps. Participants can join the Badge Team for the introduction of competitive fencing if they choose! In a team environment, participants develop skills, coordination and self-confidence. This is where 'becoming a Fencer’ starts to take shape and develop!
Fencers in Orange Badge+ are highly encouraged to join 2 classes per week to support improvement in their physical fitness and skill development.

Private Lesson Groups
A great Year-Round Option
Private Lesson Groups are a year‑round training option that provide additional skill development through focused coaching in a small‑group setting of 3 participants. Groups are thoughtfully structured and tailored to the individual, ensuring continued skill development, focus, and confidence building.
During the regular season (September–June), Private Lesson Groups run in 6‑week sessions. In the spring and summer (June–September), flexible 3‑week Mini Private Lesson Groups are offered, making it easy to stay engaged and continue developing skills year‑round.
Private Lesson Groups are an optional add‑on to regular classes and are a great way for Badge fencers to build confidence, reinforce fundamentals, and progress with extra coached support.
You can also PRO-RATE in at ANY TIME!
Equipment: Bring your own equipment, including Epee. If you do not own your own equipment, we will loan you the required items for the lesson.
