USFA Membership

2013/2014 Season started August 1, 2013 so it is time to renew our USFA membership. Remember USFA membership is required for insurance purposes. There is the 5 dollar membership for non-competitive members and the higher one for competitive members. Parents if you are signing your child up for a competitive membership, please think about adding 10 dollars more so that you get voting rights. Under 18 years old the fencer cannot vote, but the parent can vote if you pay the extra 10 dollars. To register for t the new season, visit
