Competitive Program
For the advanced Youth or Adult Fencer who is interested in serious competitive fencing on the regional and national level, we offer our Competitive Fencing Program as an add-on to the regular Recreational Level class. The Competitive Program provides individualized age- and skill level-appropriate instruction (in addition to group instruction and practice as part of the Recreational Class) in a long-term setting tailored for the specific needs of the athlete in the context of appropriate periodization training schedules. The Competitive Program is by invitation of the staff and requires a substantial commitment of time and energy on the part of the coach. We ask for a similar commitment from the student for a full term, and are able to extend a significant discount on a full term commitment over a regular monthly price.
Three terms for Competitive students are held throughout the year
Term 1: January, February, March, April
Term 2: May, June, July, August
Term 3: September, October, November, December
Youth Competitive Option (ages 11-12) Full term: $80 (or $25 for one month)
Junior Competitive Option (ages 13-14) Full term: $120 (or $40 for one month)
Senior Competitive Option (ages 15+) Full term: $220 (or $65 for one month)
The additional Wednesday Night Competitive Practice Session will continue to be available to all students enrolled in the Junior and Adult Competitive Option.
Per Rec Center policy, NRH residents receive a $4 discount on all Beginner and Recreational class fees. NRH Rec Center Policy is that all class fees should be paid on the first class of the month. Effective 11/1/2006, a $10 late fee will be charged for all registrations that are paid on or after the second Monday of the Month. Special price note for Families.

Private lesson policies
Cutting Edge Fencing Club utilizes the highly successful group training methodologies of the most successful domestic and international fencing clubs. Once a student reaches a certain level of advancement, it is appropriate to supplement this group training with individual one-on-one instruction with a coach. One-on-one instruction is typically given in the context of the normally scheduled class times, but may be scheduled at other times, depending upon the availability of the instructor.
Competitive Program students receive private lessons with their program registration scheduled as appropriate for periodization training.
Recreational Program students may schedule lessons up to two weeks in advance, subject to instructor availability.
$30 per half hour lesson
Book of 5 for $125
Visiting students may schedule lessons up to one weeks in advance, subject to instructor availability.
