What Attending Fencers Get

Full-Day Coaching Support

At each target event, our attending coach runs the day around your bouts — not just the moment you step on the strip.

Morning Planning

Group planning sessions to set goals and strategy before competition begins.

Warm-Up Lessons

Pre-competition warm-up lessons to get you sharp and ready to fence.

Strip-Side Coaching

Real-time coaching and adjustments between and during your bouts.

Evening Debrief

Group debrief sessions to review the day and carry lessons forward.

Additional fee. BFC fencers attending these events will be charged an additional fee to cover club costs.

Register early. Please register through USA Fencing at least four weeks ahead to avoid tournament late fees.
