The curriculum is appropriate and adaptable for grades 3-12. What Ages/grades is the FITS program for? Equipment is returned to us at the end of the program, refitted, repaired, and replaced if necessary, and will be shipped back to the school the following year. We provide all equipment, including shipping costs. The program is designed as a 6 week unit on fencing, with 8 lessons taught by a physical education teacher, an opening assembly by a member of the US Olympic team, and a closing tournament. We pair each school with an Olympian, who conducts a program kick-off that includes motivational messages for students on ‘going for the Gold’ in sports, school, and life. Instead, we provide professional development for one or more teachers on-site at a school to teach fencing using our FITS guidebook and our specially designed ‘Instant Fencing’ equipment so that fencing can become a safe and fun part of the school’s curriculum long-term. In order to be highly scalable, the Fencing in the Schools introductory program does not provide teachers. Fencing in the Schools uses specialized ‘Instant Fencing ’ fencing equipment to further improve the ease and safety of the equipment, and create an even more enjoyable experience for young fencers. Even more importantly, fencing technique strengthens bones and muscles while minimizing stress on tissues, making fencing one of the safest and healthiest Olympic sports.
YES! Modern fencing has rigorous safety standards for equipment. Fondly referred to as “physical chess,” fencing is a contest of mental agility that involves the mind, body, and spirit of the player. Fencing is the sport of swordplay, it is one of only four sports to be contested at every modern Olympic Games.
