Handball
Tutor Lauren Brubaker has enthusiastically brought the sport of handball to St. John's College. Handball is a full body workout with rules similar to racquetball sans racquet. It is played on a standard racquetball court, and requires a ball, protective eyewear and gloves. The college handball club provides gloves and balls for beginners.
Fencing
Fencing begins with basic footwork and blade work techniques followed by basic bouting principles. Previous experience is not required. Fencing equipment may be checked out before each class at the SAC and must be returned at the end of each class. Subsequent classes build on previous lessons with more technique as well as instruction on basic tactics, strategy, and rules. It is imperative that one attend every class as each class builds on the previous one. Motivated students may compete as a team or as individuals in various tournaments throughout the year.
