Resilience Matters
We know that more than being smart or fast or nice, success depends on personal characteristics like:
· grit
· respect
· teamwork
· self-control
· resilience
Fencing teaches all these things and more.
Fencing is a new experience for most kids, and no one is "a natural".
Learning to fence means learning to focus, learning to pay attention to your opponent, to respect the referee and coaches, and most importantly - learning to fail and think of failure as feedback on how to move forward.
All kids can benefit from learning to fence, yet most kids never get any exposure to fencing because it is expensive. Girls and kids from minority backgrounds are even less likely to have any exposure to the sport.
En Garde! Souderton was created so every kid in the Souderton Area can learn and fence for free.
Your support is needed to fund the 2024 - 25 year. Please donate below.
