"Coach Marcos and Coach Carlos are incredible, always dedicated, supportive, and willing to go the extra mile. They really care about the fencer's progress and confidence. I highly recommend this club to anyone who wants to give fencing a try as well as to those who are serious about competing."

"My boyfriend and I signed up for the Introductory Archery class with Tarek as our instructor. He was very knowledgeable and patient. We were able to shoot multiple times at many different lengths — you definitely get a lot of practice and your money's worth. We will be going again."

"My child attended summer camp at Nova and they are already planning to attend next summer. The staff were all extremely encouraging and kind. My child enjoyed it so much that they are asking to join the club so they can fence throughout the school year!"
