SFC is an inclusive space that welcomes people of every age, race, gender, and background to come together and excel in sport, build lasting friendships, and strive for athletic and personal excellence.

Sport is an essential part of education, and at the heart of every thriving society, promoting friendship, peace, cooperation, and understanding among people from all walks of life.
The pursuit of excellence in sport builds personal character as well as interpersonal bonds.

What People Are Saying About SFC
and I only wish we had made this switch many years ago! What can I say that would convince you that this is one of the best clubs your fencer can ever be a part of, and if you want your fencer to excel in this sport, to grow, to love it, to want to fence everyday, that you should come to Scarsdale Fencing? From one parent to another: Coach Achiko and Coach Maksim have a PASSION for what they do. They love fencing; they love teaching kids fencing; they want to see your kids get better and better at fencing. This isn’t a job for them; this is truly their life’s calling. In Coach Achiko’s words, every single one of the kids at the club are his fencing kids. You feel the sincerity of these words when he’s running class, giving them a lesson, or coaching them stripside. There is an enthusiasm, an energy, a freshness to what they do. It’s not just about winning medals, or making a name for the club - these coaches actually care about your kid and want to pull the best out of them. They’re amazing. I’ve seen a lot of coaches, but I’ve never met someone like Coach Achiko. So if you’re still on the fence about whether or not to come, this isn’t a paid endorsement. I was on the fence about switching for so many years and I regret all the years I wasted being on the fence. Coach Achiko WILL make your fencer be the best that he or she can be. He cares. His club is professional, with incredible group classes, a supportive environment from coaches, kids, and parents alike, and a seriousness to what they do. Don’t hesitate like I did. You won’t regret it.
All the coaches are experienced and great with kids who may be shy or anxious about starting a new sport.
My daughter has been Coach Achiko's student since she was 9 years old (for over 3 years). He's incredibly nurturing, extremely proactive, and has an amazing relationship with her (she refers to him as her "Fencing Dad").
All of the coaches at the club care greatly about their students in a holistic sense, making sure they're not just physically, but also mentally, prepared for the challenges of the competitive sport of fencing.
Our family is extremely happy to be a part of this club and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in fencing.
