CALLING ASPIRING OLYMPIANS: FENCING 101

August 21, 2016 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm Stagg Court

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT, THANK YOU!

In celebration of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, we’re proud to announce a weekly Summer Olympic Series kicking off Sunday, August 7. The series brings the Rio games to the Chicago Athletic Association hotel’s Stagg Court.

FENCING with Hyde Park Fencing 9yr+ $20/person
En garde! The final session in the Summer Olympic Series at the Chicago Athletic Association includes multiple fencing sessions, where aspiring fencers learn to lunge and parry. Hyde Park Fencing instructs participating athletes on the fencing fundamentals, with demonstrations harkening back to the Chicago Athletic Association fencing matches of days past; after all, it’s in the building’s heart and soul.

In the spirit of collaboration and the Olympics, a portion of the $20 class entry will be donated to The Special Olympics, the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Space for each session is limited. Tickets for each individual event are $20/person, with tickets for all three sessions available for $50/person, offering heavily-discounted pricing from the respective participating clubs’ standard starting entry level classes.

To purchase a ticket for one or all of the Summer Olympic Series sessions, please email jkaye@chicagoathletichotel.com
