We do not close for very many holidays.  Christmas (eve and day), New Years (eve and day), Thanksgiving Day (and the Wednesday before), Labor Day weekend, and Memorial Day weekend, are the only ones for which we usually close.  And we are closed the entire month of July.  We will be open the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  Also, we are open over winter and spring school breaks.

However, this year we will close between Christmas eve and New Years day in Manchester, so I can polyurethane the floor.

Additionally, in the winter, we close when snow or ice is either happening or predicted to start during club hours.  No one should risk their life coming to fencing!  Weather cancellations will be posted on this web site, and I will email members as well.

Head Coach

We will start Wednesday, July 31 in Manchester, with a combined Youth and Children’s program from 6:30 to 7:45 pm, and the Junior/Adult program from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. 

Rochester will start Thursday, August 1, with all programs combined, and starting at 6:30 pm. 

See you all later this week!

Summer starts soon, and for us at Seacoast Fencing Club, it will start the first week of June. Classes will be going on, and most (possibly all) of the training groups. Once I know who is fencing in June, I will be able to determine what groups will be running, and the times. Both clubs will have air conditioning running full blast when needed, and fans.

We will be closed in July, and will start up again the first week of August. There is a discount if you pay for June and August together. The tuition for the summer is:
Children: $130 for June or August, $230 for both
Youths: $140 for June or August, $245 for both
Juniors/Adults: $150 for June or August, $260 for both

Please make checks payable to Seacoast Fencing Club.

We had a great couple days of fencing this past weekend! On Saturday, March 9, 12 year old Connor McLaughlin went to Boston and fenced in the Y14 Mixed Foil, and came in 6th out of 24 entries. His only two losses (one in the pool, and one in direct elimination) came from opponents who tied third place in the tourmanment.

Then on Sunday, March 10, several Seacoast fencers went to the Youth & Veteran tournament in Concord, and in the three youth events, our fencers took four medals: Casey Wohlers, from our Rochester Club, was undefeated in both pool and direct elimination bouts, and finished winning the Y10 Mixed Foil. Nick Demers, who trains in Manchester, matched that performance in the Y12 Mixed Foil, and took the gold medal. He had earlier tied for third place in the Y14 Mixed Foil. The other third place finisher, was another Seacoast fencer, Sam Woods, out of our Rochester club, the only girl to finish in the top four.

Congratulations to all our Seacoast fencers who have been competing over the past three weekends, both locally, and in New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Massachusetts!
