USA Fencing Membership Insurance Policy
Due to a change in USA Fencing’s insurance policy, every fencer now has to be a member of USFA for our club to be insured. A noncompetitive membership is available for only $10 for the year; the competitive rate is $70 for the year (they have eliminated the family discount). Please take a minute and fill out your USFA membership registration information online now. We will be checking every fencer’s USFA status before they are able to fence.
