Phoenix Fencing Academy was established in 2018 by Will and Sabrina Becker. We believe that success has everything to do with the environment, and coaches we supply our members with on a daily basis! We pride ourselves on our family atmosphere, exceptional facility, our world-class coach and our dynamic programs. We currently run sessions in multiple after school programs as well as strive to be active in our community.

PFA also takes great pride in guiding today’s youth toward their dreams. In doing so, we strive to help members receive acceptance to a college of their choice for their continued quest for a higher education.

A little of Will and Sabrina:

Will and Sabrina started this business for the love of the sport and the kids involved in it. They met while working at a youth international competition in 2012 (Cancun, Mexico); and since then, their love for the sport of fencing, and their beautiful family, just keeps growing.

Beginner Fencing Summer Camp

Our Beginner Summer Camps are the perfect introduction to the exciting world of fencing! Designed for kids with little to no previous fencing experience, our camps provide a fun, active, and supportive environment where young athletes can learn the fundamentals of the sport while building confidence, coordination, focus, and teamwork. Throughout the week, campers will learn basic footwork, blade skills, rules, and fencing strategy through age-appropriate instruction, games, drills, and friendly competition. Our experienced coaches focus on making each day engaging while helping every camper progress at their own pace. No fencing experience is necessary — just come ready to learn, move, and have fun! Whether your child is looking to try something completely new, stay active during the summer, or discover a sport they may fall in love with, our Beginner Summer Camp is a great place to start their fencing journey. DATES WILL COME OUT CLOSER TO SUMMER TIME!

Youth Competitive Fencing Camp

Our Youth Competitive Summer Camp is designed for fencers who are ready to challenge themselves, sharpen their skills, and prepare for the competitive season ahead. Throughout the camp, athletes will participate in focused training that combines technical development, tactical decision-making, footwork, conditioning, speed, agility, and competitive bouting. Our coaches will work with fencers to strengthen their fundamentals while developing the confidence, discipline, and competitive mindset needed to perform under pressure. Camp sessions will include individual and group drills, situational fencing, strategy development, physical preparation, and plenty of competitive bouts—all in a challenging, positive, and team-focused environment. Whether preparing for upcoming tournaments or working toward the next level of competitive fencing, this camp gives young athletes an opportunity to train with purpose, push their limits, and grow as competitors. Come ready to work, compete, and have fun!
