FENCING CLUBFencing (фехтование) is the European martial (военный, боевой) art with 3000 years tradition. The sport is variously described as "combat (битва) ballet", "chess at speed" and "boxing without pain (боевой)" which demonstrates the spectrum of interesting skills acquired (приобретаемый) by players. Improved co-ordination, balance, flexibility (гибкость) and mental agility (умственные способности) are just some of the spin-offs (побочный результат). It really is the most fun way I get both (и…и…) aerobic fitness and it is up to you (вам решать) which level to go for. The club was re-founded in 1988 and has soon become a competitive (состязательный) club participating in many competitions. We also arrange friendly competitions with local fencing clubs. If the students are interested in a very fast and exciting (захватывающий) sport, then this is their club. All levels from beginner to national University representation can be trained in that club. Sports equipment (оборудование)is usually provided (обеспечено). MENS FOOTBALL We currently (в настоящее время) have three football teams, each one playing in universities competitions on Wednesdays and in local leagues at weekends. In the 1990/91 season, the first matches were very successful but then the teams were finally knocked out (выбиты) in the semifinals after a replay. They also won the local district league. There is also an annual (ежегодный) fixture (назначенная дата) in northern France against French semi (полу-)-professional side. Players of all standards are encouraged (приветствуются) to come along at any time during the season, LADIES FOOTBALL Calling all fun loving and enthusiastic females (женщины) — the Ladies Football team welcomes you to the University of Surrey.
