Durkan Youth Cup: The goal of our fencing program is to develop our students to their highest potential, so they can eventually compete at the National level and earn college recruitment with fencing. To best develop our youngest students, DFA is offering monthly practice tournaments just for youth beginners. Home Games are included in your class payment and will take place during regular class times. Tournaments are the best way for you and your child to learn the rules and structure of competitive fencing events. Our coaches will track your child’s progress and recommend additional tournaments when your child is ready.
