Youth Intermediate Program

The Youth Intermediate Program caters to fencers between the ages 7-12 who have completed the assessment of foundational skills in the Youth Beginner Program. Athletes will try their hand at foil or epee in a more challenging environment. Students are given a study guide of skills which will be covered and assessed each week. Upon completion of their skills, they will be invited to continue in the Youth Advanced Program.  Students at this level must own electrical fencing equipment and be attired appropriately for each class. The MFA offers in-house events and exchanges with friendly clubs to allow the students to compete locally.

This program is offered with unlimited Youth Intermediate classes.

Youth Advanced Program

NEW THIS SEASON - The Youth Advanced Program is designed for those fencers who have passed the Youth Intermediate Program and now need to practice those skills with their peers under the supervision of the MFA coaching staff. As the athletes practice together the coaches will take the students aside as needed to work on any technical or tactical skill that requires attention. At this stage, students would have been sorted to specialize in either the foil or epee and our encouraged to begin competing in local competitions appropriate for their age and level. Students at this level must own all fencing equipment and be attired appropriately for each class.

This program is offered with unlimited Youth Advanced classes.
