Squires Program · Ages 4–6

Squires Pricing

Our youngest athletes train in custom small groups or private lessons — one simple pack covers both.

How Squires classes work: classes are created on request with 2–6 students — 40 minutes with 2 students, up to 60 minutes with 4–6. Have a friend or small group? We’ll build a class around your schedule. No group? Use your pack for 20-minute private lessons with our coaches.

Everything's Included

No equipment to buy — we provide it all. Squires follows best practices for introducing 4–6 year olds to a high-level youth development sport: short, playful, structured sessions that build real athletic foundations.

All Equipment Provided

Included

  • Soft plastic & foam training sabers — safe, light, and sized for small hands
  • Child-sized masks & protective gear provided by the club
  • Nothing to buy — just comfortable athletic clothes and sneakers

Note: when your child moves up to Musketeers (ages 6–8), coaches will guide you on their first real equipment.

What We Work On

🤸

Coordination & Motor Skills

Balance, agility, and footwork games that build the athletic foundation for fencing — and every sport they'll ever play.

⚔️

Fencing Games

Playful, age-appropriate games with foam sabers teach distance, timing, and control. Fun first — technique follows naturally.

🧠

Focus & Listening

Short, structured activities build attention, following directions, and taking turns — skills that carry into school and life.

🏅

Confidence & Sportsmanship

Celebrating effort, learning to win and lose well, and building a love of the sport from the very first lesson.
