Registrations are now open for Term 1 2026 to join Trott Park Fencing Club!

Looking to try a sport that's a bit different? An Olympic sport that isn't your everyday, mainstream, traditional sport in Australia?

Our Wednesday sessions are held in the gym of Sheidow Park Primary School (enter from the rear of the school in Alkira Road, Sheidow Park). We train during public school terms - rain, hail, shine or heatwave!

All equipment and coaching is provided and no experience is necessary ... although if you fenced years ago, why not come and have a go again? We are an inclusive club and everyone 5 years and over is most welcome.

* The Short and Shorty Swords (5 -13 years) from 6 pm to 7 pm
* The Main Swords (14+ years) from 7 pm to 9 pm

Cost is a most reasonable $40 annual fee + $165 for 11 weeks. Sports Vouchers can be used too!

Interested? Why not make 2026 the year you give it a go? Contact us via Messenger or email us at [email protected]. Looking forward to welcoming you on week 1, Wednesday 28 January 2026!

Tonight Ola Shelton, the National Sabre Coach, visited the Club. A great footwork and technique session, aided by 5 sabre coaches ... yes, we repeat five sabre coaches (Hugh, Spencer, Sam, Leon and Peter). Plus Jenny doing stuff in the background to make sure the night ran smoothly ... a total of 7 sabre coaches present!

Some pics of the night from The Shorty Swords, The Short Swords and The Main Swords.

EDIT:
All lockers collected.

Thanks to a Federal Goverment Volunteers' Grant plus our Port Adelaide Cycling Club bbq fundraisers we are rearranging our storage room to make it easier and more efficient for our volunteers to get gear out. Here's the first item - a custom made mobile épée storage rack that fits 16 weapons. Thanks Simon, we love it!
