Stratford Fencing Club is proud to join the Respect in Sport movement. 

The Respect in Sport Activity Leader/Coach Program educates youth leaders, coaches, officials and participants (14-years and up) to recognize, understand and respond to issues of bullying, abuse, harassment and discrimination (BAHD). It is important training to help in creating a safe, healthy and respectful environment for all participants.

The Respect in Sport Parent Program will help define a standard of behaviour for all coaches and parents and create a more rewarding, safe and respectful environment for everyone involved. Parents want to do a great job supporting their kids. Respect in Sport provides leaders and parents with the tools to do just that.

Our parents are required to complete the parent portion of the program, found here: https://stratfordfencingparent.respectgroupinc.com

Coaches and leaders will be doing their own version, found here: https://stratfordfencing.respectgroupinc.com

Happy holidays and hope to see you in the New Year.

SFO is proud to announce the opening of our new home, a dedicated training space with permanent fencing pistes, overhead reels, armory and more. The success of our youth and competitive programs meant we had outgrown our old space, and we are delighted to be able to set up a proper fencing salle at 44 Griffith Rd, Stratford, as of December 1st 2017.

Our move also lets us expand our fencing programs. We’re adding more youth, beginner, and competitive training opportunities to make it easier for you to discover and advance in this amazing sport. Stay tuned for more information...in the meantime, all minifence, beginner, and competitive programs continue uninterrupted. Just remember that after December 1st, we'll no longer be at Bedford Public school.

Hope you had a great summer--but now let's get back to fencing! Our new season is underway. New for us this year is online payment for all of our programs--check it out on our Programs page and in our Store. Parents asked for it, so we are trying it out...hope you find it convenient. 

We have also rearranged our training calendar somewhat because of our close relationships with Duel Nature Fencing and the Nancy Campbell Academy--both places that not only provide a development path for our own SFO fencers, but which draw elite talent from across the province and even around the world. 

So good luck to all as the season begins...En garde, pret, allez!

Looking for something new this summer? Try a week (or two) at one of our fencing camps. With options for ages from 6 to 17, two different weeks and morning or full day programs, our summer camps are a great way to stimulate mind and body.

SFO is proud to have four athletes competing in the Ontario Summer Games. Isabella Sabatini will compete in U15 and Cadet women's foil, Niki Holland will compete in U15 and Cadet men's foil, and Gareth Marks and Craig Humphrey will compete in Cadet men's foil. 

SFO is the smallest club with this many participants...only one or two of the truly huge Toronto clubs have more athletes fencing at the Games. Check out the schedule for fencing and all the "other" sports at www.osgmississauga.ca

This year's summer camps and next year's season will take place at Bedford Public School, 59 Bedford Drive, Stratford. We enjoyed our time at Avon, but we have a great opportunity at Bedford, including some good storage for our gear and air conditioning.

The move represents somewhat of a homecoming for SFO, which was based out of Bedford in the past. 

Reminder...try to keep the driveway circle in front of the main doors free of cars. There's a handy parking lot with an entrance off Bedford Dr. just north of the school.

See you there!
