Active Schools Fencing | Tranent

An exciting mix of athletic sport and tactical combat, fencing is a great way to exercise both body and mind.

It's a naturally sociable activity (it's tricky to fence on your own!) which attracts people from all walks of life (contrary to the image sometimes seen in films). It's accessible to everyone, young and old, male and female, able-bodied and disabled alike. And, in case you're wondering, it's also a very safe sport. So all in all, it's a great way to meet new people and get a good work-out at the same time.

And don't worry if you're not into sports. Many people who don't normally consider themselves 'sporty' find they really enjoy the unique mix of skills used in fencing.

These sessions will run at Elphinstone Primary School. On arrival please wait with your child until the coach has taken them into the Gym Hall. All equipment is provided during the lessons. Please wear indoor shoes, a long sleeve t shirt & bring hydration.

Please note: the deadline for booking is 2 working days before the start of the activity block. This is to help us ensure we know participant numbers and information in advance of classes starting, and allow us time to prepare registers and share this information with coaches and activity leaders. If you would like to book after this time or after an activity block has started, please email Erin Buckley, Active Schools Coordinator directly at ebuckley@elcschool.org.uk to check if spaces are available.
