This sport inherently practices social distancing. Enjoy competitive fun safely without “fighting.” Students will learn the basics of attack and defense in fencing. Register with family members or friends to increase the fun! Additional family members receive a 50% discount when registering together. Instructor considers the height and ability of each fencer. Fencers may choose to share equipment from the club or purchase their own basic set (approximately $124). To share equipment with the club, contact Fencing Sports Club on voice only number 630.678.0035 to share body size and then you will simply attend the first class of the beginner session. The set given to your fencer is at the discretion of the instructor. If you prefer to purchase a personal beginner set, the club is happy to quickly assist with ordering. Participant must attend first class with their new set in hand. At the end your experience as a beginner, you may have the club buy your equipment at 50% of purchase price. No class

Unique to Little Sparks, we encourage parents to play, too! Little Sparks takes children on an exciting journey using imaginative stories to explore the game, while our experienced coaches focus on their holistic development. Little Sparks uses three core principles (experiential play, creative learning, holistic activity) to create an environment for children to learn, play and have fun with a soccer ball at their feet! The after school group will be working in small groups with professional coaches from Chicago FC, with classes focusing on technical development and social emotional learning, to elevate them both as a player and people.
