Looking Ahead
Fencing Classes at Kittredge Begin in January!
Introduction to Fencing - Fridays 3:15-4:30
Fencing, often called “physical chess,” is an Olympic sport that combines athleticism with strategy. Using controlled movements and quick reflexes, fencers aim to outmaneuver their opponent and score points with a sword touch.
The Introduction to Fencing class introduces students to the exciting world of fencing in a fun and safe environment. Guided by an expert coach, kids will learn the basics of fencing, including:
• Simple Fencing Rules: Easy-to-understand rules and point scoring.
• Basic Movements: Fun drills to teach stances, footwork, and fencing positions.
• Practice Matches: Supervised bouts to practice skills against a real fencer.
• Safety First: How to use equipment safely and respect others on the strip.
This class helps kids develop focus, coordination, and self-confidence, sparking their interest in fencing through engaging lessons and play.
Please use the registration form to sign up.
Winter Break
We will be on Winter Break from December 23-January 3. Classes will resume on January 6.
If you know of any planned absences for your child on either side of this break, please send an email to the office and your child's teacher to let us know.
We wish you and your families a wonderful holiday season!
