- Covid-19 Update: Our club has been closed since March 12, due to the coronavirus pandemic and the closing of our host schools. As of September, our host schools are cautiously moving toward re-opening, but still unable to host community sports. For returning fencers (those who have completed at least a Level 1 class), we will be offering a series of outdoor group classes in September and October. Without gym access, we are unable to offer our usual beginner classes. However, head coach Viveka Fox will offer outdoor private lessons for all levels, including beginner, at her home in Addison VT, as weather permits through October. We will do our best to stay flexible and offer fencing when and where we can. If you are already a club member, you should be on my email list, and I will update you regularly as I learn more. If you are a beginner interested in taking up fencing for the first time, or a fencer moving to Vermont from elsewhere, please contact me (Viveka Fox) so that I can stay in touch with you and let you know what (if anything) the VFA will be offering moving forward.
In the meantime, I am leaving most of the information about our pre-pandemic program posted on this website, so that prospective club members can get a sense of what we did, and hope one day soon to do again.
Below is our typical schedule from past years. This is not necessarily the schedule we will be returning to during the pandemic.
