We provide a dedicated performance programme for those wanting to compete at a National and International Level
Performance Programme

Performance Training
All of our members who join our performance programme benefit from regular individual coaching and lessons (at least one 30 minute lesson per week) to develop their fencing.

Additional Squad Training Sessions
We run additional training sessions for our performance squad members. These are designed to develop technical and tactical skills together with athletic strength and conditioning.

Training Planning and Goal Setting
Our performance programme members all look to set individual performance goals to improve their fencing and athletic performance. Our coaching team works with other complementary professionals, such as strength and conditioning and sports psychology experts to provide support to the programme and individual members.

Competition Support
Our coaching team provides additional support to performance programme members at both National and International Tournaments.
Joining our performance programme
Our Club is open to all and we encourage new fencers and all of our team to compete.
Our Performance programme is focussed on those who are competing regularly and are looking to develop a high-level of personal performance. Our programme members have access to additional training and sessions and support from our team to enable them to succeed.
Our performance programme is open to both Youth and Adult fencers. Members need to be over 10 years of age and competing for the club regularly and attending a minimum of two club sessions per week. For fencers over the age of 13 we expect a minimum of three sessions per week.
Programme members have an SVSC Coach specifically assigned to them and who will give them their primary training and day to day support. If any Club member or potential member wants to find out more then they should speak with the Head Coach to assess their suitability and programme availability.
