🤺CLUB UPDATES🤺:

🤺Long term club dues are currently on the table (through August). You can get 6 months of club membership for the cost of 5 months ($225 instead of $270) by paying August through January all at one time. Or you can go really big and get a whole year for only 10 months ($450 instead of $540). We only offer this when it falls in line with the USA Fencing calendar, so it is only available for August to July. Or the 6 month is August - January and a second shot of February - July. Only about a week left.

Remember, because of our insurance, you cannot fence currently unless your USA Fencing dues are up to date.

🤺RESULTS🤺:

🤺Coach Spahr travelled to Foothills Fencing Academy for their referee certification event this past weekend. In foil he was 2-3 in his pool, and won his first DE, before losing to Michael Edgecombe in the second, to finish 8th. Michael went on to win the event.

Epee was more challenging as he lost all my bouts and my DE to finish 12th.

In sabre, he went 2-3 in the pool, coming out 3rd and ended up 5th overall.
