Dear Lassiter Fencers and Parents,
​
Our first tournament of the season is coming up on Saturday, September 18, at either Alpharetta High School or Campbell High School (GHSFL will let us know which by September 13). Due to the need for safety precautions, the following stipulations will be in effect:
-
COVID masks are required for all present at the tournament
-
Only fencers who are participating in the tournament may attend
-
Each fencer may have one parent/guardian in attendance
-
Fencers must leave immediately after elimination
**Important: Students must register with Mrs. Moser THIS WEDNESDAY, September 8, if they plan to participate. Fencers, you can do this at practice. If you miss practice on Wednesday, please email Mrs. Moser by Wednesday to let her know whether you plan to fence in the tournament.
More information about location, time, and post-tournament team dinner to follow next week.
We look forward to seeing you all at our first tournament!
Thank you!

Warm greetings to you all. I wanted to update you all on a couple of things regarding the upcoming fencing season:
​
1. Welcome Coach Guerra! First, I am very pleased to announce that Stephen Guerra has been selected as the coach for Lassiter High School fencing Team. As most of you know, Stephen has been a tireless supporter of the team, both as the former president of the Lassiter Trojan Fencing Booster Club Board and as last year's interim coach, a position he volunteered for in order to salvage the season during a difficult pandemic year. Stephen truly cares about the team, knows the fencers well, and has many years of fencing experience. He'll be a great coach for the team.
​
2. Tournament Schedule: I also wanted to share with you the tournament schedule for the upcoming season so that you can mark your calendars. We only have the tournament dates so far and don't know at which high school we'll be competing for the first five rounds. I'll keep you posted as we find out more details.
