PRACTICE Program

Yellow Badge+ (Fencers with limited experience who have completed a LEARN program)

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.
