State games are the 20th of June in Raleigh. They have recently split
the men’s and women’s events. Check askfred for an idea
about who is coming, but the official preregistration is on the State
Games site. If you haven’t already officially preregistered there is a
$20 late fee added on.
The women’s events will probably all end up as E events, although the
epee will be really nasty as an E event. For the guys, the epee needs
an A to be an A2, the foil is a B1, and the sabre needs 1 A and 1
B to become an A2.
11 is a one day coaching clinic at All American Fencing in
Fayetteville. The clinic is being run by Ron Miller, UNC’s head coach,
and is only $25. This is a great bargain to learn from a coach of his
caliber. If some of our younger fencers want to learn more about
coaching I will drive. If you are at all interested in learning about
coaching or how to drill better in fencing, this will be the best deal
you can get. More details on askfred under clinics.
beginner camp is July 13-17, so spread the word. If you are getting
this e-mail you are beyond the level of the beginner camp. Advanced
sabre camp is July 20-24, advanced foil camp is July 27-31, and advanced
epee camp is August 3-7. Cost for the Camps is $195. For epee camp,
you will need to renew your USA Fencing membership as it is at the start
of the next season. We provide gatorade, water, and snacks. The
fencers need to bring lunch as camps go 9-5, although maybe a bit
shorter on Friday. Please e-mail with what camp you want to attend so I
can look at numbers and the level of the fencers for planning
purposes.
need to leave a bit early to get up to Camp Lejeune. I may or may not
be able to have campers picked up a bit early, so I would like a back up
plan. Thanks.
