SPORTS
For grades K-5th
Emphasis is placed on: teamwork, basic skill development, sportsmanship, an inclusive atmosphere and FUN! Each meeting, young athletes practice elementary skills with drills, skill-based games and playing unique adaptations of the sport we are focused on. For instance, a unique adaptation for basketball may be no dribbling during the game. Passing only. This helps to develop ball movement, court spacing and teamwork.

FENCING
For 2nd-10th grades
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT with our fencing courses. Students are outfitted with: a thick safety jacket, a safety mask that covers the face, ears and neck, a glove for the foil hand and a bendable safety foil with a rubber safety tip. We institute strict safety guidelines in our courses that students must follow immediately or be asked to sit out.
That being said…this class is AWESOME! Students sign up for it again and again. Fencing increases young athletes’: speed, strength, dexterity, quickness & focus. We have many repeat students from one session to the next.

We schedule three sessions throughout the school year as well as high-octane summer camps. Each session builds on the fundamentals learned in the previous session, however, our classes are open new and repeat students. We also occasionally offer a separate session for only repeat students.Fencing Tournaments
What a great opportunity to test your mettle against students from throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area! Students compete in 6 fencing tournament bouts (these are NOT single elimination events) against students of similar age and ability. This is a full day event that is currently held annually in the spring. It is open to any student, but we strongly encourage prior experience in the YEL fencing club before participating in a tournament.
