Getting started?
I’m the parent to a 12 year old athlete who does triathlon and parkour. He just learned about modern pentathlon and is interested in getting involved but we’re not sure where to start. We live in western NY.

Free introduction to international fencing and laser pistol
One year ago, my daughter Emily attended training camp with Olympic gold medalist Maia Weintraub. Last month, she scored her personal best results while facing off against Team USA at Summer Nationals in Portland, Oregon. Emily and Maia are set to return to training camp this summer, along with a cadre of international men's saber fencers. On Friday, August 21st, the Fencing Academy of Philadelphia will open its doors free of charge to anyone interested in pentathlon. You are welcome to watch high-level fencing and try using a laser pistol. I will be available around 12 noon to explain the action – please email me at [email protected] if you are planning to attend the 8/21 afternoon session. Kathy

My apologies for the delay, it has taken me months to figure out training camp housing. I compiled a list of 25 options near Fencing Academy of Philadelphia that have availability the week of 8/16-8/22, some with pools. The list is at https://onedrive.live.com/:x:/g/personal/714ab4f8653d590c/IQDKzRAThVK5RYMARS2zG-zCAXyOSPhQlP8VBFLtinpb1BI?rtime=DdPf-THs3kg&redeem=aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL3gvYy83MTRhYjRmODY1M2Q1OTBjL0lRREt6UkFUaFZLNVJZTUFSUzJ6Ry16Q0FYeU9TUGhRbFA4VkJGTHRpbnBiMUJJP2U9aDJIUHM0

Fencing coach
Thank you for this introduction to the pentathlon community. My husband and I fenced for Columbia University back in the 1990s, and I am currently working as an apprentice coach at Fencing Academy of Philadelphia. We have three kids who all fence -- the youngest one recently started training for pentathlon.

This is what I had in mind for a subscription coaching model: The biggest time commitment for pentathlon is swimming. I have been working with Olympic coaches to determine distance drills that can help with cross training. There is also a cycle to peak for competitions that starts with endurance and ends with speed. Basically, you would get a monthly set of suggested drills along with Q & A. We can modify the offerings as I acquire more data from competitions. I was also thinking about organizing training camps in Pennsylvania to analyze and improve athlete performance. That is a lot of what I am doing with my thirteen year old.

I talked to Mark Masters yesterday and he can arrange a week-long pentathlon training camp after summer nationals fencing championships in July at Arcadia College in Pennsylvania. We have about 7 kids ranging from ages 12-20 who are interested. Tentatively, the camp would run for 6 hours each day with one hour for each event taught by specialists (fencing, swimming, running, laser pistol, and agility). If you would like more information, please message me.
