OLL Fencing Week of November 30

 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  For the upcoming week we will be practicing on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.  For Friday, Alex will be available to do some one on one work with each fencer.  Please remember to get in all of your required paperwork and fees especially any uniform items that you need ordered.  Before competitions begin in January everyone will need the complete uniform of Tshirt, socks and Jackets.

 

Any questions please feel free to contact me.  Also, please remember that fencing at Peekskill will resume next Saturday from 11:30-2:30.

 

Thank You,

 

Shannon and Alex

Fencing Starts Monday - 11/16/15

Sending a reminder regarding the beginning of practices this week.  We will meet in the school cafeteria from 3-5:00 on Monday, Thursday and Friday this week.  We will not have practice on Tuesday due to scheduling conflicts with Alex and I.  

 

Also, as you may have noticed the fees were increased this year.  This increase is to pay for busing to tournaments, dinners after tournaments and any necessary equipment.  However, please know that no individual who wishes to fence will be excluded if the fees cannot be paid.  Please contact either Alex or myself if the fees may pose a problem and we will work through that with you.

 

Also, we are in the process of arranging for scrimmages with Storm King School and will let you know details as they become available.

 

Please also try to attend classes at Peekskill Fencing Center.  These are given every Saturday from 11:30-2:30 and really are beneficial for the upcoming season and are free to Lourdes fencers.

 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have at anytime.

 

Thank you for all your cooperation as we begin another great season,

 

Sincerely,

Alex and Shannon

OLL Fencing 2015-2016

Our 2015 season is about to begin.  Our first practice will be on Monday November 16th from 3-5 in the school cafeteria.  Everyone who attended the meeting was given all the paperwork required by the school to participate in sports so please be sure to bring that with you on the 16th.  Also, please be sure that the blue sports participation form has been handed into Mrs. McAllister the school nurse no later then Monday November 9th.  On the first day of practice we will be given a list of all athletes who are cleared to participate in sports and if your name is not on it you are not allowed to participate. For practice please where comfortable clothes, even if you want to just wear your gym uniform with sneakers.

 

Everyone also has been given our January Tournament schedule, please be sure your parents have received this paper.  These are mandatory events for all fencers.

 

There will be a small change to the practice schedule to accommodate Alex being able to spend more individualized time with the team, From November 13th until December 11th, Practices will be on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.  Also, please try to attend the Saturday training classes at Peekskill Fencing Center.  These are free to all of our Lourdes fencers and is a great opportunity to increase your skills, have some personal training and fence fencers outside of our team to see the different styles you will be facing in tournaments.  These classes are held every Saturday from 11:30-1:00 and 1:00-2:30.  If anyone is need of a ride we do put car pools together and will be more then happy to assist with driving.

 

Again, look forward to seeing everyone on November 16th and looking forward to a great season.

 

Shannon And Alex
