16-20 AUGUST COMPETITION CAMP
This camp is designed for fencers who intend to compete in United States Fencing Association competition in 2010-2011 fencing year, and is not a learn-how-to-fence camp. Attendees should already be proficient in general footwork for their weapon, and in the use of the offensive and defensive techniques in the short tactical wheel. Because the workouts are demanding, participants should be in good physical condition and come prepared for sustained strenuous activity beyond that of a normal fencing class. United States Fencing Association membership is required, and application may be completed the first day of the camp.
Typical daily schedules will include:
| 0900 | Camp session starts - early opening can be arranged in advance for drop-off. |
| 0900-0950 | Warm-up and physical and psychological conditioning activities with a focus on fencing specific conditioning - includes use of a variety of strength training equipment with a focus on teaching athletes an appropriate conditioning program they can follow during the year |
| 0950-1110 | Technical and tactical instruction - including group lessons and drills |
