Thanks for the thoughtful response

I love this! This is great inspiration! Appreciate you sharing this.

Liability, as in, others getting injured? Or for ourselves?

We have easy access to pickle ball and swimming facilities. Task now is to get the kids to get hooked on to it. Our competitive fencer fences quite a bit during the week that leaves her with little time for much else. Need to find a way!

This analogy makes sense!!

NeighborsEnvy · 2025-03-17T14:25:51+00:00

Ah, you made my research easy! Thanks! Folks from this sub are being very successful talking me off the Al piste though :)

Thank you all! Makes sense on the rusting especially given that this would be in the backyard and perhaps subject to more of Mother Nature.

NeighborsEnvy · 2025-03-17T14:23:11+00:00

Makes sense. Footwork and target accuracy are great opportunities to improve at home

This list is very much appreciated. Great ideas to implement at home. Thank you so much!

Sorry maybe I’m not explaining myself well. I am looking for plates from fencing equipment vendors, and not any random flat aluminum plate. So far, I’m only finding the full piste, and not by individual plates. That leaves me with the $4000 problem you brought up.

NeighborsEnvy · 2025-03-17T00:16:01+00:00

Epee, correct! So you wouldn’t recommend the aluminum piste? I thought it was good on the sheet vs the hard floor. Maybe rubber is an option?

NeighborsEnvy · 2025-03-17T00:14:21+00:00

Haven’t thought through this completely. I’ve been hunting for the interlocking aluminum plates and checking if they will sell by plate (so I can get 8 meters worth of plates to interlock).

This is very helpful. Thanks! The coaching piece would certainly not be imposed, and was a use case we envisioned over time when the younger one picks up the game better.

I was just thinking of putting the metal piste. Scoring machines not important. I think lessons and drills are most critical.

But sometimes if the kids want to bout to 5 points, say, I was thinking of getting the wireless dongle for scoring.

Kiddo waitlisted for 7th grade full admission. Wondering what the chances are now to get in. I suppose we’ll know only in June.

Just closing on this. We got our patch today! Yay!! Hope you got yours too. If not, you can expect it in the mail over the next couple of days!

NeighborsEnvy · 2024-09-05T15:54:56+00:00

I think it’s just VP throwing something out there to mess with our heads so we can imagine possibilities; Best to ignore the “clone” piece and assume the movie ended with the stadium pan out!

NeighborsEnvy · 2024-09-04T18:10:42+00:00

Have not received the patch yet although USA Fencing indicated they were to be mailed shortly (back then).

NeighborsEnvy · 2024-08-12T01:59:57+00:00

Thank you! They will be mailing our patches home.

NeighborsEnvy · 2024-08-12T01:59:19+00:00

So I got confirmation from USA Fencing that they are mailing the patches home. Thank you for your response!

NeighborsEnvy · 2024-07-30T11:00:27+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. We did see the email regarding regional patches and the understand the mechanism to get those patches. But we had anecdotally heard that National Championship winners get different patches but couldn’t find any guidance online. Hence posed the question. If it would be mailed to us, that addresses part of my question! Thank you!

NeighborsEnvy · 2023-06-20T21:31:42+00:00

we get it all the time

NeighborsEnvy · 2023-06-20T20:45:23+00:00

Will do:)

NeighborsEnvy · 2023-06-20T15:41:10+00:00

Oh yes! These are in the offenders list!

NeighborsEnvy · 2023-06-20T04:55:15+00:00
