   The salle will be open 10-15 minutes before the start of each lesson or practice, so plan to arrive a bit early to dress

   and stretch.  The 6:00-7:00 p.m. hour is for those interested in paying a small fee for additional instruction and more
   focus, such as a specific weapon class.  The drills at 7:00 p.m. are the start of the club practice, a time in which all club 

   members can expect to review the basics like footwork, distance, bladework, et cetera, as a group at a consistent time.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

When you become a USFA member you'll be able to compete in USFA tournaments.  To see what's scheduled in Fort Wayne and surrounding areas, click here SCFC members love to share the sport of fencing by staging demonstrations throughout the community.  It's just one more way you can get involved and fence.  Contact Steve K for details. Are you someone that would like to be part of a great program, but not the one on the strip with a weapon in your hand?  Offer your time as a volunteer at an upcoming tournament.  We need helpers at the registration table, t-shirt sales, timers, and more.  Sign up with Steve K.

SCFC Salle Rules & Etiquette

When fencing at the salle, please keep the following in mind:

• Enjoy yourself and be respectful of other fencers!
• Open Fencing is open to everyone - members, non-fencing members, and nonmembers alike. SCFC members fence for free at all open fencing sessions.
• Fencers should bring their own gear for open fencing. Club gear may be available at the discretion of the Floor Leader.
• If you are not a current, fencing member of the club, you may fence during an open fencing session by:
  o Paying the $5.00 floor fee OR
  o Taking a private lesson – the floor fee is included in the price of a lesson
• The floor fee does not entitle a fencer to use club equipment or the armory.
• At the discretion of the Instructor, a non-member who has just finished a private lesson may continue to use club gear for open fencing that same day. People taking lessons are strongly encouraged, but not required, to join the club.
• Classes are only available to club members.
• Fencers must wear appropriate, safe attire. This is defined as clothing that at minimum covers all skin above the knees (all skin from head to toe for epee), with the exception of the non-weapon hand. Clothing should not have cargo pockets or other likely-to-snag features. Baggy clothing should be avoided. Athletic shoes must be worn.
• Visitors must be escorted by a club member.
• Please help keep the facility clean and orderly.
• Please keep your fencing gear away from the couch/social area if space permits.
• No alcohol is allowed on the premises.
• The Floor Leader is in charge of the salle and he/she will not allow dangerous or out-of-control fencing. Fencers fencing dangerously will be warned. Continued unsafe fencing or inappropriate behavior will result in ejection from the salle.
