We run fencing programs all year long, and each session is typically 7-8 weeks long depending on where holidays fall. Prices vary based on length of the session and how many classes a week you attend. We do offer discounts for families and fencers training with us more than once a week. We like to keep it simple so there are no additional club membership fees!

OFA MEMBERSHIP

All returning fencers must register for their OFA Membership through the Ontario Fencing Association (OFA). The membership renews at the start of every season on August 1st. Intro fencers are exempt from this while they are in the introduction program (we cover this for you for the length of your intro program) however upon completing the intro program you will need to register with the OFA.

The Recreational OFA Membership ($35/year) covers your insurance for the year, it allows you to fence with us and also compete at Just For Fun (JFF) Tournaments within the province! For our tournament minded fencers, you will need to get the Competitive Membership ($85/year) which allows you to fence at any tournament in the province and collects points for your domestic ranking.

More info on OFA memberships can be found in our FAQ section or by emailing us at info@westenswords.com.

Refund Terms & Conditions:

  • A full refund is available for participants who cancel at least 7 days prior to a session beginning.

  • Cancellation requests received after a session has started, will have the remaining weeks refunded minus a $20 admin fee, until 50% of the classes have been held. Once a session has reached the half-way-point, it is no longer available for refund.

  • West End Swords does not provide refunds or make-up classes for missed classes. If we cancel a class for any given reason, we will either issue a refund, discount for future session, or arrange a make-up class.

  • Registrations are not transferable to other sessions.

Bad Weather Policy:

  • In the unlikely situation that a class is cancelled due to bad weather, there will be no refund or make-up class available. This decision is based on the fact that we still pay for floor time, and coach time whether class runs or not. IF classes are cancelled due to extreme weather we will announce it on social media (facebook & instagram), and email everyone on the class list. Be sure to follow us on social media to stay notified with updates and announcements.
