One of the nine sports featured in the first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, Fencing was developed by the French in the 1880s. “Fencing” comes from Latin meaning “to defend”, and requires strength, agility, timing, balance and mental fortitude to develop strong defense and attack strategies.  Come make friends and test your metal!

This event is for brand new fencers ages 6-13 years old.

Space is limited to the first 40 participants. Email fencing@sportmanitoba.ca to save your spot!

Refereeing is an important role within the sport of fencing. Referees are needed at competitions in order to ensure matches are managed by competent individuals acting with integrity, dignity, and a high level of fairness. Referees are also integral to creating a safe experience for athletes, coaches, and spectators.  Learning how to officiate can have positive impacts for an athlete’s own fencing ability as well.
