Powered by GoogleOur daughter went to one of their fencing tournaments and absolutely loved it! The staff was very helpful and professional and the event was very well organized.
My child has been attending their fencing lessons for 3 years. He loves it! Lessons are fun and I can see the growth he's had. Recently he attended one of the tournaments, and they are a great way to build character and confidence!
My 9 yr old just did his first fencing tournament and his experience was amazing! YEL ran a perfect event. It was easy to follow along for us beginners. The technology they used for the schedule and results felt high end and worked seamlessly. My son ended in the middle of the pack but he was still able to get a silver medal due to the clever way they broke down the results. So, instead of feeling deflated, he was excited about continuing fencing. He is excited about the next tournament!
My son loves the yel chess tournaments; we've participated for years and he always enjoys himself, despite being a beginner. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the parent vs kids dodgeball game is a highlight. They support all levels of play. They also provide snacks and lunch.
We have been involved with YEL MN Fencing for just over a year and we highly recommend both the club and the coaches. Coaches Paddy & Jacob are dedicated to their fencers and to the sport. They are skilled at discovering kids’ strengths and weaknesses and helping the kids to grow. The club is newly designed and beautiful! The fencers at this club encourage one another and cheer each other on, and this is a testament to great leadership.
