Why Fence
There are many benefits to participating in youth fencing. Children learn good
sportsmanship and self-discipline. They learn to compete independently as well
as for a team; they learn to enjoy winning and profit from defeats, while
becoming physically fit and healthy; and, most importantly, they learn to make
complex decisions, analyze problems, and think fast. These ideals help children
reach their potential in many areas other than fencing.
Remember that the primary motivating factor for entering sports, particularly
among adolescents, is the desire to have fun. The following pages will help you
assist them in reaching this goal. Don't forget, Olympic Champions have fun
too.
