Aspire to Inspire National Tour - The Student-Athlete Experience for Fencers

Aspire to Inspire National Tour is a virtual series of panels that provide intimate knowledge of the student-athlete experience for fencers at colleges around the country.

The vision is to make the student-athlete experience more accessible for fencers in middle school/high school, especially during the pandemic. There will be five panels (comprised of alumni athletes from three universities per panel) which will take place between July 11 - 12, 2020.

This series of panels will provide valuable insight on the student-athlete experience at a diverse group of schools across the country. Each panelist will speak about the following topics with respect to their alma mater and their sport:

1) Student-Athlete's General Experience

2) Resources for Students and Athletes

3) Why They Chose Their Alma Mater

4) Application Process Considerations Based on Their College Experience

Best Masks to Wear for Fencing

We are looking forward to fencing in-person at Tim Morehouse Fencing Club starting on June 29th. Masks will be required for practice. Watch the video above for some recommendations on the best masks to wear for fencing.

The mask you use for practice should be comfortable and breathable, and should stay on throughout training. Masks worn around the ears and N95 masks are not ideal because they are hard to breathe in and don’t stay on. If you need to remove your mask, please keep it around your neck so we don’t confuse which mask belongs to which fencer.

Tim Morehouse Fencing Club’s In-Person Summer Programs Begin Monday, June 29

Our in-person Elite Summer Training Clinics and Youth Camps will begin Monday, June 29 as per NY State's announcement that day camps can run state-wide. In-person private lessons will also begin June 29 either as part of the camps/clinics or they can be booked separately.

Space in these programs will be very limited and we will follow all safety and health guidelines as provided by NY State.

Bridges To Learning Virtual Tutoring Services (for K-5th Grade)

As schools, teachers, parents and, most importantly, children adjust to remote learning, the gap in our children’s education the past few months has been noticeable. Now more than ever, tutoring services for our children are at the forefront of many parents' minds.

Bridges To Learning has partnered this summer with Morehouse Fencing to bring your children virtual one-on-one tutoring sessions.

Bridges To Learning has been an on site tutoring service, focusing on K-5th grade, for the 92nd Street Y summer camps for the past 17 years. Our program is run by a professional staff of licensed teachers, all with Master's degrees and subspecialties, enabling us to handle a wide range of learning needs.

With many camps temporarily closing its doors this summer, we are continuing our services with virtual tutoring. In order to best service your children's needs, we cannot offer group sessions like we do during on site tutoring, but we will be offering one-on-one private sessions. Cost is $85 per session with a minimum of 2 sessions per week.

Please check out our website at www.bridges2learning.com or call Frieda Levitas at 917-566-2131 for more information and to sign up. Don’t delay as spaces are limited.

Camps Will Run June 29!

Hello Members,

Exciting news, this week Governor Cuomo announced that day camps could begin running in New York State on Monday, June 29!

As a result of this new information and after reviewing responses to our club survey, we are going to be making some modifications to the previously published Summer schedule. We appreciate everyone's continued flexibility as we try to navigate this unprecedented situation. 

Some Updates with More To Come: 

#1 Current Class Schedule Extended: We will be extending our current class schedule until Sunday, June 28.

#2 New Summer Start Date: On Monday, June 29 we will begin our new Summer Schedule and we are planning to run in-person clinics and camps for foil, epee and saber in Port Chester as well as camps for just saber in Manhattan. 

The new plan will continue to include online portions but will include more in-person training. 

#3 New Summer Schedule: 

We will announce the new Summer Schedule around Monday, June 8. We are working right now with our lead coaches to plan and coordinate. 

We are all really excited to see everyone in-person and I can assure you that we will run our in-person programs following all safety guidelines as outlined by the State and CDC.

You can see our re-launch guidelines here: www.timmorehousefencing.com/relaunch 

We Will Fence again! (And Soon!)
