Electric and Soft Club Kit
This information pack and purchase form is for fencers who have been practising soft or electric fencing before, or just moved up to electric fencing and do not yet have all their own personal kit.
Personal Fencing Kit
Because of covid regulations, fencers need to have personal fencing kit. The club can sell you the kit you need. We have a buy-back scheme aimed at children who will grow out of their kit and just talk to us if you want to find out more. This kit will be available for you to collect at the first session and you can try on different sizes to get what is right for you. If you are unsure what kit to get then just speak to the coach.
[At any time you decide to stop, upgrade or if your child grows out of their kit, you can sell this kit back to the club at 50% of buying value if in good condition.]
Personal Fencing foil (sword)
Adults are free to choose between the different foils available in the range from soft foils, to steel practice foils and electric foils with different grades of steel. Generally children only get their own personal fencing foil (sword) when they are 13 years of age. Sometimes coaches may approve younger children to have their own personal foil if they are happy they will be safe with it at home. For children who can't have their own fencing foil, the club will provide foils for the children to use at the session.
