New Facility

The in-house pro-shop at Fencing-Sport-Center gives fencers and parents access to the weapons and gear they need, with professional staff helping out and giving advice for novices. Unique facility features include 9 fencing strips: 6 electric + 3 dry, two lounges, free Wi-Fi, and in-house gear and weapon specialists. One strip is metallic with lights built into it so that the touch indicators light up when a touch is made.

The Quiet Lounge offers fencers free internet access, gourmet coffee, large-screen cable TV and fuse-ball. The Observation Lounge gives family and friends a direct view of the fencing action, to see your favorite fencer's every touch.
