What We Offer

At Little Musketeers we appreciate just how difficult it is to keep children of a young age entertained. Unlike most other mainstream sports, fencing is far better at holding a child’s interest and attention. We offer a great balance of fencing activities and games to capture your child’s imagination. What child has not grown up pretending to be a swashbuckling pirate, a duelling Musketeer, or even the master of swordplay himself, Zorro?   Why do they do it?  Because it's fun!

The Courses

At Little Musketeers we base courses on a system designed in conjunction with the British Fencing Association and other experts to bring SAFE fencing to 5 - 10 year olds.


We provide bright coloured foam foils and plastic masks with mesh visors that are safe and yet hard enough to give children the real feel of fencing.  We ensure visors are worn at all times giving piece of mind as well as that genuine fencing experience.

Little Musketeers classes can be delivered before, during and after the school day as part of the curriculum and through extra curricular clubs. In addition we run a number of holiday sports courses and cater for children’s parties. Sessions focus on a variety of games and activities to help improve speed and co-ordination and develop specific fencing and decision making skills. As well as group activities children will also benefit from individual fencing tuition from James to further develop their technique.

Chidren are assessed at various key stages and are provided with achievement certificates to document their progress. We encourage all our Little Musketeers to stay on at the club and, as their age and skill level increases, progress through our more advanced courses where they will begin to use plastic foils, which are equally safe to use with normal gym kit.

Prices

Little Musketeers classes last 1 hour and cost £6.50. Children are welcome to attend a single session as a taster and this will be charged on a pay as you go basis. In this instance we do ask that you provide us with prior notice so that we can plan ahead. If your child enjoys it and wants to continue we ask that you then pay for the rest of the term in advance.
