High School/Middle School PA Fencing

[Nann]

Hi. As a new member, I'd like to know how many schools in the Philadelphia region (SE PA, Delaware, Md) have fencing teams or clubs. I'm a coach, having spent twenty years as such at a local YMCA. I have found sigificant increase in fencing as a team sport. I have a school interested in competition, but who might they compete with?

I believe Episcopal Academy is starting up a fencing team. Haverford School (where I teach) just has a middle school club, no interscholastic. Wallingford-Swarthmore has a club, I believe, as does Church Farm School. I believe Abington Friends is having classes, though I may be wrong.

There is a large New Jersey high school league which has been thriving for years and continues to grow.
