How to Join
Good news! Northwestern Club Fencing is open to any member of the Northwestern community. No prior experience is required.
​
We support all skill levels; experienced fencers have an opportunity to continue to practice and improve their abilities, while beginners have an amazing opportunity to learn a new sport.
​
If you're interested in joining, please email us at clubfencing@u.northwestern.edu! Or, if you feel like it, just show up to a practice!
Dues
As much as we'd like to, our club can't operate without funds. As a result, we do charge membership dues. On the bright side, we invite you to try one session or practice for free!
​​
The due structure is:
-
$50 per quarter fee. This base rate applies to beginners and returning members.
-
$150 travel fees for the academic year. This is applicable only to travel team members.
