Team Swordfish: Boys' Competitive Foil (Ages 7-10)

Is your son ready for a challenge? Team Swordfish is a specialized competitive fencing program for boys aged 7 to 10—a pivotal stage known as the Age of Reason.

At this age, boys develop a crucial capacity for logic, strategy, and moral conscience. They start thinking ahead, understanding rules, and taking ownership of their decisions—skills perfectly matched for the strategic challenge of fencing, often called "physical chess."

We harness this cognitive growth while thoughtfully preserving the wonder of childhood. We strike a balance between the reality of rigorous, competitive training for USFA sanctioned Men's Foil (Y8 and Y10 classifications) and the spirit of Knights in shining armor.  In short, we teach fierce dedication with honor and integrity. 

Our comprehensive program is designed to transform young, budding athletes into disciplined, independent competitors ready to thrive in local, regional, and national events.

We offer practice sessions up to four days a week to give families the maximum flexibility needed to accommodate school, other activities, and frequent competition travel. Athletes are expected to attend at least two or more practices weekly to maintain their competitive edge.

Structured for Growth

The program features two distinct breakout groups:

1. Fundamentals: For beginners to establish a strong technical foundation.
2. Advanced Competitive: For students already competing in USFA tournaments.

We are dedicated to meeting students where they are. Coaches will assess and graduate fencers to the next level when they demonstrate readiness.
