Youth
The USFA has initiated a series of youth tournaments for the Y14, Y12, and Y10 age categories to provide more competitive opportunities for younger fencers.
A wide variety of competitions can be found at the local level in clubs or sponsored by local organizations. Schedules for these competitions can be found by contacting your club or other clubs in the area. Click here to search for a club.
Super Youth Circuit
Super Youth Circuit (SYC) events allow athletes a chance to earn national points. Fencers may participate in more than one SYC tournament, however, only the competition where the fencer earns the most points will be included in the point standings. These events are part of the qualification paths for both Summer Nationals and Youth 10 and 12 events at North American Cups. Click here to access the SYC schedule.
Regional Youth Circuit
Regional Youth Circuit (RYC) tournaments are held throughout the season, similar to SYC events. There are no national points awarded, but participation in these competitions is required to qualify for both the Y10/Y12 competitions at Summer National Championships and Y10/Y12 events at North American Cups.
