Our mission is to develop the future leaders, coaches, referees and administrators for the sport of fencing.


Summer Internship For Developing Coaches

We are excited to announce the launch of a paid internship for college and high school fencers during the summer of 2024. This internship will build their skills as fencing coaches, and expose them to the day-to-day running of one of the top fencing clubs in the country.

The internship will run Monday to Friday from June to August. Interns will work approximately 40 hours per week and receive a stipend of $8,000 and free membership at the club. Housing will not be provided, however there are many resources available for reduced cost housing in the city for interns.

Interns will receive direct instruction on principles and technique for coaching, have opportunities to use those skills in small group and one-on-one sessions with students at the club, and learn about the general operations of the club during our most exciting time: camps and summer nationals.
