The goal of the Sycamore Fencing Team is to train students to participate in the sport of fencing at both recreational and competitive levels. Fencing is a sport in which honor and sportsmanship play a vital role in competition. Fencing also provides participants with an excellent aerobic workout unlike any other sport or activity. The season runs from November through February. The season will include training and instructional time as well as competitions with teams from other schools. The number of competitions will be dependent on the number of schools with competitive fencing teams. Students will also be trained and encouraged to participate in amateur competition through the United States Fencing Association.
