Fencing is fun & fulfilling, and we strive to provide a safe space for your experience.
- Each fencer must have a current enrollment or day pass on file to use club facilities or equipment.
- Each fencer will be dressed appropriately for the athletic activity: fencing uniform or t-shirt, sweat pants & sneakers.
- Any fencer with hair long enough to tie back must do so.
- All fencers will bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
Fencing is a melee sport with weapons used intentionally in a controlled environment.
- Coaches and instructors will have final say on any/all safety issue or discussion.
- "Halt!" will stop all action immediately, on the strip or in practice space.
- Blade tips will point down or covered in hand, when not fencing or drilling.
- Masks will be on during any blade work within distance.
- Weapons will be used only to hit fencers with proper protective gear.
- Equipment (club or personal) will be respected, never thrown, bent or banged.
- Never point a weapon at any one without a mask.
- Horseplay with weapons will not be tolerated.
