We’re wrapping up this year’s Priority on Youth series on May 31 at Forge Fencing Academy, marking the end of what has been our largest and most successful season to date.
Across four events, participation and consistency have been strong, with athletes traveling in from clubs across North Carolina and the Washington, DC area. It’s been great to see the level of engagement grow, along with athletes continuing to build experience in a competitive setting that emphasizes development and sportsmanship.
Coaches and Teen Leaders help build confidence by inspiring and educating.
