Hello everyone and hope everyone is well and in good health!

 

It is our pleasure to be able to continue offering the amazing sport of fencing once again to The Village Prep School community. Secretary General of the Ukrainian Fencing Federation and Professor of Biomechanics and Kinesiology Olena Shevchuk will be coaching again this term. Olena has so much to offer the students at The Village Prep School - we are so thrilled to welcome her to Diamond Blade Fencing Club!

 

Autumn term 2022 fencing goals include making sure the girls will receive appropriate training so that they are progressively working towards their appropriate grade levels in foil fencing.
