PEEKSKILL FENCING CENTER

Hello and welcome to the Peekskill Fencing Center, established in 2003, we aim to promote, foster and develop the sport and art of fencing.  Ours is a small club that offers lots of individual attention.

Our members compete in local, regional and national events.  Competative members can advance thier skills by fencing at our club and through private lessons with our instructors.

New fencers are encouraged to enroll at any time.   Fencers are quickly intergrated into the program and an individualized program is designed for them.

We are pleased to announced a new cooperative agreement with the Westchester Fencers Club.  This agreement allows us access to thier coaches and facilities.  Please contact us if you are interested in sabre lessons or taking private lessons from Orest (former Head Coach at the U.S. Military Academy - West Point).

The Olympic Visit

Tim Morehouse and Jason Rogers visited Peekskill and spoke at our schools and at our club.  They shared details of their Olympic journey and gave our young people the message that goals, once achieved, should be set higher.   Fencing gives us lessons about life, fairness, honesty, trust in yourself and others, and setting goals.  Tim and Jason explained that their goal was simply to win a medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.  Once achieved, Silver in Team Sabre,  a new goal was set: Gold at the 2012 London Olympics.  Good luck boys, Show'em what you got.
