Rising Stars Beginner Youth and Parent training #1

FRED Announces the Rising Stars Beginner Youth and Parent training #1 Fencers must be USFA competitive members. This is a tournament for beginner fencers who have not competed outside of the area. It is also a place for parents to learn how to help their fencer at a tournament. Please ask questions! ------------------ Important Info: ------------------- Tournament: Rising Stars Beginner Youth and Parent training #1 Date(s): 08/16/2014 Location: Fencing Institute of Texas Fees: $10/event Event | Date | Registration Closes Y10 & Y12 Mixed Epee | Sat 8/16 | 12:00 noon Y10 & Y12 Mixed Foil | Sat 8/16 | 10:00 AM Y10 & Y12 Mixed Saber | Sat 8/16 | 1:00 PM We will separate age groups if possible (meaning, if there are at least 5 fencers in each age group). If there are at lease 5 girls and 5 boys, we will separate the event by gender. This is part of a series of beginner youth tournaments meant to be used to teach athletes and PARENTS about the format for tournaments and how to help your fencers be successful. Fencers must be competitive members of the USFA and have a properly signed North Texas Division waiver to participate. All events will be fenced electronically. There is a limited availability of equipment at FIT; fencers are allowed to share equipment as this is a BEGINNER tournament. These tournaments are intended to be a child's first introduction to a fencing tournament environment, and are meant to prepare athletes for participation in the Regional Youth Circuit (RYC) and Super Youth Circuit (SYC) events. They are also a training ground for PARENTS and REFEREES. Parents are expected to ask questions throughout the tournament so you will be better prepared to help your child at a larger event. Beginning referees are welcome! We will provide lunch for anyone refereeing multiple events. Students, this is a great way to earn community service for school!
