Our Coaches:

Cross Roads Fencing Center was founded by two Epee fencers to bring the exhilaration of Olympic Style Fencing to Marlborough and the surrounding area. Coaches Robert and Kathy Patterson trained to fence with former US Olympic coaches and athletes and received Coaching Certification from the US Fencing Association Coaches College at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. They and their son fence locally and continue to compete in National events across the country.

Robert and Kathy are active in the community. Robert has previously coached youth hockey. Kathy mentors middle school students in engineering.
