AFM Back to Season Preparation Camp

This camp will provide intensive conditioning with emphasis on special fencing related aspects of physical strength, speed, flexibility and endurance. This is ideal intensive training opportunity for competitive fencers to help them prepare for local, regional and national level competitions that start in September 2014. Coaches will work with each participant to improve their fencing skills and get back to their competitive edge at the start of the new season. Each athlete will be challenged to think critically and develop approaches and methods to improve their fencing performance and empower themselves in competition and their own training afterwards. Coaches will work with each participant individually to improve their fencing skills and provide constructive feedback on technique and on-strip strategies to help athletes adjust their game during fencing bouts. Each athlete will be challenged to think critically and develop approaches and methods to improve their own fencing performance and empower themselves in national competition and their training afterwards.
