Best Masks to Wear for Fencing

We are looking forward to fencing in-person at Tim Morehouse Fencing Club starting on June 29th. Masks will be required for practice. Watch the video above for some recommendations on the best masks to wear for fencing.

The mask you use for practice should be comfortable and breathable, and should stay on throughout training. Masks worn around the ears and N95 masks are not ideal because they are hard to breathe in and don’t stay on. If you need to remove your mask, please keep it around your neck so we don’t confuse which mask belongs to which fencer.

Tim Morehouse Fencing Club’s In-Person Summer Programs Begin Monday, June 29

Our in-person Elite Summer Training Clinics and Youth Camps will begin Monday, June 29 as per NY State's announcement that day camps can run state-wide. In-person private lessons will also begin June 29 either as part of the camps/clinics or they can be booked separately.

Space in these programs will be very limited and we will follow all safety and health guidelines as provided by NY State.

Tim Morehouse Fencing Club’s Youth camps are for students ages 7-11 and we will have both beginner and competitive groups. We will also be conducting Elite training and College Prep for competitive Foil, Saber, and Epee fencers throughout the Summer.

Camps Will Run June 29!

Hello Members,

Exciting news, this week Governor Cuomo announced that day camps could begin running in New York State on Monday, June 29!

As a result of this new information and after reviewing responses to our club survey, we are going to be making some modifications to the previously published Summer schedule. We appreciate everyone's continued flexibility as we try to navigate this unprecedented situation. 

Some Updates with More To Come: 

#1 Current Class Schedule Extended: We will be extending our current class schedule until Sunday, June 28.

#2 New Summer Start Date: On Monday, June 29 we will begin our new Summer Schedule and we are planning to run in-person clinics and camps for foil, epee and saber in Port Chester as well as camps for just saber in Manhattan. 

The new plan will continue to include online portions but will include more in-person training. 

#3 New Summer Schedule: 

We will announce the new Summer Schedule around Monday, June 8. We are working right now with our lead coaches to plan and coordinate. 

We are all really excited to see everyone in-person and I can assure you that we will run our in-person programs following all safety guidelines as outlined by the State and CDC.
