Lilov FA (LFA) Winter RYC (Region 3)

Welcome to the Lilov Fencing Academy December RYC! As always, expect competitive and pleasant environment with memorable moments for all young fencers, parents, armorers, and referees. Youth fencers from all states are welcome to join us! As always, we’ll have delicious food. We look forward to seeing you all again this year! The Regional Youth Circuit (RYC) is sanctioned by USA Fencing and Youth Development Committee. RYCs are a group of events in each region throughout the country for youth fencers in the Y10, Y12, and Y14 age categories in all three weapons. They provide an opportunity for young athletes to experience elite competition, earn regional points, and prepare for future national events while limiting travel time and expenses for the fencers and families. RYCs are one of the possible qualification paths for Y10 and Y12 fencers to the Youth NAC and for Y10, Y12 and Y14 fencers to the Summer National Championships.
