Tournament Schedule Updated
Although we don’t have the full Pisacafe Youth Circuit and Homeschool schedule available yet, we do have some. Remember we encourage all our elementary and middle school fencers to participate in the Pisacafe Youth Circuit, it is an intramural series of events between Greensboro, Wilmington, and Fayetteville for our young fencers. Points are accumulated based on number of fencers in an event, number of events participated in, and placement in the event.

Also, dates for the North Carolina Junior Olympic Qualifiers and the North Carolina Qualifiers for Nationals have been announced.

River City Regional Rumble – Richmond, VA
For our competitive fencers, the River City Regional Rumble’s registration deadline is on September 1, 2023. There is a high probability that Isabelle (Cadet Women’s Foil) will be attending that event, but right now, numbers are still low (example, Cadet Women’s Foil currently has only 14 fencers), we’ll see if participation goes up. I might consider waiting until the tournament deadline before deciding to attend. You must have a Competitive USA Fencing Membership for this event: https://member.usafencing.org/details/tournaments/7522
