The Niagara Swords Fencing Club (NIA) offers ongoing club programs in all three Olympic weapons (foil/epee and sabre). These our programs are structured to provide enjoyment and challenge to recreational and competitive athletes.
Depending on the age group, experience levels and needs we have practice hours Mondays through Friday during the evenings. All program members are expected to maintain a current Ontario Fencing Association and Canadian Fencing Federation fencing license (available online).
NIA Academy
The NIA Academy is geared towards youth, ages 9-17 starting with novice experience in the sport of fencing, and wanting to increase their competitive skills. In addition we use fencing as a means to impart the academic and life skills necessary for young students to develop well rounded physical and personal skills. We further challenge our athletes to compete at various levels to build confidence and expand their horizons.
Practice times: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 6:30-8:30pm
Cost: $75/month
