Team Rules
1. Members must exhibit superior sportsmanship and behavior on and off the fencing strip. You are a representative of Caddo Magnet High School and Caddo Magnet Fencing. Remember, this includes during your fencing class, too. Your fencing class, if you are in one, should be used to advance your fencing skill and camaraderie of your fellow fencers and teammates. The same goes for team practices. Your behavior during these times will also be a factor in the decision Varsity Lettermen. ANY actions or behaviors (on or off the fencing strip) deem inappropriate by the (Magnet) coach will result in immediate dismissal from the Caddo Magnet Fencing Team. (to be determined and addressed on a case by case basis)
2. All team members must pay $20 per semester for team dues. If you are in a fencing class during the day this fee is in ADDITION to your class fee. By paying your team fee you agree to follow all rules and regulations of the team and of US Fencing. Your team fees are non-refundable. If you fail to pay your team fee but are still representing Caddo Magnet at competitions, you are still obligated to follow all rules of behavior and sportsmanship to remain a member of the team. Also, only those who have paid a team fee are eligible to use school fencing equipment at competitions. Read more about this on the tournaments page.
3. All team members must also be a competitive member of the United States Fencing Association and maintain Caddo Magnet Fencing Club as your primary club affiliation. Your secondary club affiliation is your choice. If you compete under a different primary club or team, you are not eligible to be a member of our team. (Visit www.usfencing.org for details on membership)
4. Regarding team practices:
Schedule: Mondays and Wednesdays will be on a 3-weapon rotation with drilling and lessons with Coach Rob and Josh. Practices will begin promptly at 3:45 PM on those days. If you arrive after 3:45 PM you will not be permitted to stay.
Thursdays are open fencing days from 3:35 through 5:00 PM. If you do not attend Monday or Wednesday session you are not permitted to fence Thursday.

The Fencer of the Year for Caddo Magnet Fencing

NEW TEAM MEMBERS:
Fencing can be a very expensive sport if you get highly involved in it. You do have the option of purchasing your own equipment but you don't have to - you can use the school equipment if you pay your team fee. Other expenditures for fencing during the school year will include your USFA membership of $60 for the year, or $160 for a 3-year membership, and expenses for travel and tournament fees since the school does not pay for competition because fencing is not a LHSAA sport (Louisiana High School Athletics Association). A weekend trip out of town for a tournament will run about $200 for hotel, gas, food, and tournament fees. This of course varies depending on the tournament and where it is. National events will cost considerably more.
If you have ANY questions or concerns please contact Mr. Candiloro.
Have a GREAT YEAR!!!!
