Halloween / Congratulations

30/10/2018

 
All trainings this week are as usual, except for Oct 31 - no training for pre-elites, have a happy and safe Halloween.  And thank-you for adjusting schedules for tournament absences. 


CONGRATULATIONS
Individual successes are all of the athletes successes at SFO.  Every bout, every care in training, every decision to work hard and stimulate success from our beginners to our high performance athletes looking to make Team Canada builds everyone else. We are as strong as our newest athlete.   Every medal, every top 8 and every success is a group success.  Thank you to all the athletes who take seriously the training, have fun in getting better and enjoy the sensation of expressing healthy active bodies and minds.
Over the last weeks, some of our athletes have been travelling with great results:
  • Spencer Orr: Gold (Mustang), Gold (Flower City, NY), Bronze (Flower City, NY)
  • Ellie Davies: Silver (Mustang), Bronze (Flower City, NY), 5th (Flower City, NY)
  • Nolan White-Roy: Bronze (Canada Cup), 5th (Canada Cup)
  • Greg Weise: 8th (Canada Cup), 20th (Canada Cup)
  • Blake DeGroot: 11th (Canada Cup), 23rd (Canada Cup)
  • Scott Bell: Gold (Vango), 6th (Canada Cup)
Plus all athletes from SFO medalled at the Mustang Invitational Team Event.  And I might have missed some results!
Clearly, the athletes are doing something correct!
Upcoming Tournaments:
Several Tournaments have dropped, please visit the OFA events page for a listing of current ones.  Newly opened include the Newmarket Challenge (senior and y14) and the Brock Open, although it appears to have issues with its website.

We will be having a Boston Pizza booster party on Nov 26th. It’s a great time to meet everyone and enjoy some pizza and pasta. Cost is $20 for adults and $10 for kids under 12.

Schedules, Respect and Tournaments oh my

9/10/2018

 
Schedule:
Training is as per usual for T/W/Th this week. 
Sunday COMPETITIVE TEAM (10-1 pm) will not be running due to Coach Marks travelling to Milwaukee for the North American Cup with Nolan White-Roy (wish him good hunting).  Competitive team fencers can come for 1 pm and join the beginner practice and free fence.

Saturday footwork class is also, clearly, cancelled.


Respect in Sport:
We ask all parents/guardians to take Respect in Sport training.  It is an excellent reminder of the values we want to model in the club to our athletes and if you have not started or finished it, please do:
