DD is 11 yo and beginner, just moved to Mclean/Tysons areas. Would appreciate some general fencing school/club recommendation and the ballpark range of the cost.
Thanks a lot. |

| $300/month but they usually make you sign a year contract. |

| If you’re willing to travel to Chantilly VA, Fairfax fencers annual membership cost is around $1200-1300, and you can attend as many classes, e.g., for beginner, you can have 5x 1 hour lesson per week. |

| We live in Baltimore but always enjoyed tournaments at Fairfax Fencers. They were always very welcoming. |

| We paid around $400 a month for daily classes M-F and a weekly short private lesson. Fencing is expensive - whenever a college says it cares about equity but it still has a varsity fencing team, I can't help but roll my eyes... |

I don't understand your mentality. You pay for your DC to be in fencing, yet you think a college should not have a varsity fencing team if they REALLY cared about equity? Are they mutually exclusive? And what does that say about you?? |

I paid for fencing because it was a sport my kid was interested in and I wanted him to get off the couch and I can easily afford it. But I can still think that colleges shouldn't accept students based on them being good at a sport that is essentially only open to rich kids. |
