Armonk teen Sylvie Binder wins gold at national fencing tournament
Sylvie Binder, 13, of Armonk, won the gold medal in the 14-and-under women’s foil at the United States Fencing Association’s Super Youth Circuit fencing tournament held Jan. 5 in Durham, N.H. Binder, who went into the tournament ranked No. 12 nationally in her age category, bested a field of 61 fencers from all over the country. Her ranking is expected to improve as a result of the win, her father, Jeffrey, said. Binder’s next test will come at the United States Fencing Association’s North American Cup beginning Jan. 18 in Louisville, where she will compete among older fencers, including several Olympians from the 2012 London Games. In February, she is expected to compete at the USFA’s Junior Olympic competition in Baltimore. Binder is in the 8th grade at H.C. Crittenden Middle School in Armonk. She trains at the Fencing Academy of Westchester in Hawthorne with coach Slava Grigoriev, a two-time Olympian. Fencing champion Sylvie Binder with her gold medal. (Jan. 10, 2013) […]

Darien fencing can help kids lunge to success
Soccer. Basketball. Football. Gymnastics. Baseball. Fencing. Fencing? Yes, fencing. A sport that a child can start learning at a young age, and one activity that isn’t normally in the lexicon when it comes to kids and parents talking about the usual suspects of athletic pursuits. The four-year-old Darien Fencing Club, located in the VFW Hall on Noroton Avenue in Darien, is a Mecca for kids from both Fairfield and Westchester counties to discover how fencing can be a foil (of sorts) to the inability to concentrate or focus on a particular task at hand. “Fencing is a sport that is intensely individualistic, yet at its core demands consideration of and respect for others,” Jeffrey Binder, owner of the club, said. “It is a physically demanding sport, that is equally mental.” Darien Fencing Club is a member of the United States Fencing Association and is a fully-insured organization, offering group fencing lessons to children age 7 to 13. Classes meet weekly […]

Fencing for Charity
Fencing sensation Sylvie Binder of Armonk, New York is an eighth grader with initiative! She is ranked 10th in the country within her age group and has won numerous national competitions. In early 2012, Sylvie took the opportunity to blend her love for fencing with her love of the environment. She organized the “Go Green” Beginners Fencing Charity Tournament for fencers ranging in age from 8 to 12 years old. The tournament was a hit with more than 30 young fencers competing. It was so successful, in fact, that Sylvie decided to make the fencing tournament an annual event! All proceeds will again be donated to the Fund. Sylvie’s “Going Green” in 2013! The second annual fencing tournament will take place on April 20th with a new twist: beginner fencers will be paired with a more experienced fencer who can serve as a mentor throughout the competition.
