Future Champions Camp - Chicago

FCC: Pre-season sabre camp with an Olympian and World Champion Rossella Gregorio in Chicago. Italian coach and staff. FCC (Future Champions Camp) has been a camp organizer since 2018. In the past five years we have organized more than 30 camps all over the world – in the US, Europe, China, Central America with over 1000 participants. Many of them attend our camps regularly. We are based in Italy, but we recruit our staff from all over the world, because we want to give the best training quality to our participants. We choose our staff members carefully not only for their professional characteristics and achievements but also for their personal qualities. FCC is more than a community - it’s a family and it’s important we all share the same values and goals. Training with FCC means a step on the next level of your fencing consciousness, since we have developed our system (and continue working on it), which we successfully apply during our camps. We know we have set a high-level plank, but we are ready for this challenge and can’t wait to share our knowledge, experience, expertise, and passion for fencing with our new participants! At our pre-season sabre camp in Chicago, we will be focusing on how to prepare physically and mentally for the start of the season, training and expected competitions. You will learn how to plan your fencing activities depending on your goals, needs and actual condition. As a pre-season camp, we will be focusing on conditioning and strength training in order to set ourselves up for success throughout the coming year. There will be lots of bouting with Gregorio and Pucci and each fencer will get 1 lesson with the coach (with the option to purchase more lessons available).
