Update 1:
As we continue to prepare to return for classes, Coach Gerhard is trying to block out time to provide some private lessons. Unfortunately, I have limited time, there are still some open slots to take private lessons in the summer (any age group). You can also sign up for some open fencing time (teen and adult class members only), also at limited capacity before we return. All people in the fencing club must be wearing face masks. Sign up for lessons and open fencing here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QY1sMZppzcgSxJO4G2pWc6RhavVfydvW1O1cV_e4nDo/edit?usp=sharing

Update 2:
New face mask designs! We worked with CCE Headgear Plus to create a new face mask design that’s an homage to our AAFA logo. Both the logo masks and the modified logo are available to purchase online or visit their store: https://www.cceheadgearplus.com/product/aafa-navy-face-mask/299

Update 3:
Last chance for another opportunity to participate in a Referee Clinic. Right now, the All-American Fencing Academy has 7 referees that have taken the class and passed their examinations! All that’s left is to be observed at a tournament. Marlon is signed up for the next referee clinic. They have waived the late fees and there are still spaces for registration.

Update 4:
Don’t forget, later in July and early August, make sure you renew your USA Fencing membership. I’ll remind you more as we get closer to that.
