Youth Camp

We’re excited to announce that this year’s Summer International Sparring Camp will feature a dedicated Youth Camp for the first time!

Requirements:

• • Minimum age: 12 years
  • Minimum experience: 2 years of competitive fencing

Designed for fencers aged 12+ with a minimum of two years’ competitive experience, this programme offers young athletes the opportunity to train in a high-performance, international environment tailored specifically to their stage of development.

Participants will benefit from:

• • Daily structured sparring
  • Tactical and technical coaching sessions focused on competition skills
  • Refereed poules and match play to build tactical awareness and bout management
  • Strength, mobility, and injury-prevention work appropriate for developing athletes

Our youth fencers will train alongside—but in sessions appropriate to their age and experience level with—the senior camp, creating a motivating atmosphere while ensuring a safe, supportive, and development-focused environment.

This camp is ideal for young athletes looking to:

• • Increase competitive confidence
  • Gain experience against unfamiliar opponents
  • Prepare for the upcoming season
  • Take their fencing to the next level

Places are limited to maintain quality coaching ratios.

Our coaching team will review each fencer’s experience and allocate them to either the Main Camp or the Youth Camp to ensure the most appropriate training environment.
