What Will Your Fencing Be?

You are all fencers. From this sport you gain some form of enjoyment, some reward. So that you can have that, other people have stepped forward, they took some initiative. Why? The people who have made it possible for you to fence, they are some of the greatest people you can know, but they've made sacrifices so that all of you can enjoy the sport.

You are the new leaders. You are the people who will be caring for your sport five years from now, ten years from now and beyond. Will the sport grow? Will you be able to fence where you move? Will you continue to have challenges? Will you share this sport with others? Will you? You get to decide.

You get to decide if fencing is offered in your school. You get to decide if your hometown will host a well run event, or if those events will fall apart when it relies only on one person. You get to decide if new innovations will come to the equipment we use. You get to decide if the US, your state, your city, your street gets to show the world how much you love your sport.
