Holiday fencing training has been scheduled both Wednesdays of the break to help keep our fencers fit and sharpen their skills to be ready for Term 3 events.

Date: Wednesdays 05/07/2023 and 12/07/2023
Newbie/Development Training Session: 12:30pm to 2:30pm
For our new and recreational fencers to get focused attention to level up your skills quickly!

Squad Training Session: 3pm to 5pm
For our Squad fencers to stay fit and sharp, ready for competitions in Term 3! The Senior National Schools event is on the first weekend back in Term 3 so we highly recommend our senior teams to attend training. Squad fencers are permitted to participate in the earlier session pending manageable numbers of attendance.

All holiday training is voluntary. We will have coaching resources allocated for these sessions.

Please make sure you bring the following:

• Your fencing gear
• Water bottle and towel
• Your own lunch (canteen will not be open!)

Please contact Mr Huynh if there are any issues or questions.
We wish you a safe, enjoyable and productive holiday break!

Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh
