SCA’s home is the Bep van der Pol Hall in the Frans Otten Stadion (FOS). The hall is named after Mrs. Bep van der Pol, an honorary member of SCA who was an active fencer well into her seventies. The spacious hall is equipped with eight electric fencing strips (official size), a mirror wall and a wooden floor. SCA also uses the hall regularly outside class times for small tournaments and social events.
FOS is a large sports complex that hosts not only facilities for fencing, but also for playing tennis and squash and for fitness. Additional features are the first-rate dressing rooms with showers, and the excellent bar and restaurant. Parking space is available for €3,50 per day. Lockers are available for rent for members who wish to keep their weapons and equipment at the club. Please contact the SCA secretary on this matter.
