Interested in Teaching Fencing?

The Omaha Fencing Club is thriving, limited only by the number of qualified instructors we have. All of the current Board members and Instructors are volunteers, and so their time is limited. Adding additional instructors would allow us to add additional classes. The Omaha Fencing Club will pay for training for those interested. Training is provided by the USFA through the Olympic Training Center in Colorado. If interested, contact Brad via email.

Interested in competition? Borrow some gear from the club and sign up for the Cornhusker State Games! You’ll find good competition for any level of fencing -  there are open, youth (under-10, under-12, under-14, and under-18 events), and veterans’ events (over-40) - and you don’t need to be a member of the United States Fencing Association to compete. Cost is $22 for the first event, and $10 for additional events. Be sure to sign up before June 22 to avoid a $5 late fee.The fencing events are at Dawes Middle School, 5139 Colfax Ave., Lincoln NE., and for the full list of event times see <http://www.cornhuskerstategames.com/games/sports/fencing>.
