USFA Membership is required
For insurance purposes, the United States Fencing Association requires anyone fencing in a USFA-accredited fencing club to be a USFA member. Register online through the USFA website here. Please bring proof of USFA membership to your first day of class. When you join the USFA, your club is Austin Fencers Club and your division is South Texas. USFA membership is for the fencer, i.e. your child, and must be made in the child's name, not the parent's. |
