Esteban stakes scholarship in Rebisco camp
When Maxine Esteban returns to the Philippines for a much-deserved homecoming, she won’t have a lot of idle moments.
The Filipino-Ivorian Olympian will share her skills as she hopes to uncover the next Filipino standout when she leads the Rebisco Extreme foil fencing workshop on Aug. 10 at Republic Fencing Club.
Boys and girls aged 10 to 12 with skill levels ranging from beginner to intermediate are invited to attend the three-day camp at Suncrest Building in Libis, Quezon City, not only for a chance to learn from one of the top fencers in the world but also for a chance to take their quest for fencing greatness to the next level.
Esteban and Rebisco Extreme, which is looking to expand its support of young athletes, will pick the four fencers with the best potential from the camp and provide them with a one-year full fencing scholarship.
“We hope that this will not only encourage more kids to pick up the sport but also open opportunities for promising fencers to fulfill their potential starting with the varsity level,” Esteban said. “I’m thankful for Rebisco Extreme’s support and for their dedication to this project.”
“Every champion starts with a single step—and now, together with Rebisco Extreme, we’re bringing you a free fencing camp,” she added. “Let’s train, laugh, and grow together—no experience needed, just your energy.”
