Welcome

From youth to senior, from recreational to international competitors, from ambulatory to adaptive athlete, modern day or historical (Victorian), FIT has something for everyone. FIT is a designated Paralympic Sport Club for fencing.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION - At FIT we believe a successful athlete sets goals for themselves. In order to create the premier fencing club of North Texas, we developed some goals for FIT and FIT Coaches.

    • Create and support a long term athlete development (ADM) model to develop excellence and support success for both competitive and recreational fencers
   • Develop and support a coaching structure to drive athlete success
   • Increase participation and improve the quality of fencing activities
  • Develop, provide, improve and maintain tools and resources to support an effective competitive and recreational fencing sport system 

MISSION –  Our mission is to provide quality instruction in fencing and life skills that prepare our athletes to be effective contributors to their communities, schools and professional lives.  

PURPOSE – To be the premier provider of instruction in the art of fencing at all levels while providing an unsurpassed standard of excellence in teaching able-bodied and Paralympic children and adults. To deliver consistent and professional instruction to all students from child to adult in every class, every day so that they may realize their maximum potential in this sport and in life.

VISION –  To be known as the sport’s leader in providing quality instruction and consistently delivering outstanding student service to the students we serve. 

CORE VALUES –   

1. Treat every person the way you want to be treated. 

2. Extend grace to those who are willing to try to excel.

3. Seek first to understand others before trying to be understood.

4. Choose relationships over profits and or tournament results.

5. Think outside the box – always question the status quo
