Parent Involvement-
In order for us to have a better focus for improvement we need parents to feel that they have a say by helping out with their children's development. We have formed a parents 'Active Parent Advisory Group' to help with new ideas for the Center and the continuing development of the Youth and Jr. Olympic Program.
Understanding the sport of fencing that your child has chosen can be easier than you think. Check out the Pacific Coast Section's website at www.pcsfencing.com and then click on Parent's Corner. There you will find a lot of information for the beginning parent.
Your child's future education-
If you are thinking ahead towards your child's future education (and you should be) then fencing can help with that too!

They all have FENCING varsity teams in their NCAA programs!
There are 36 schools for men which are listed above and 43 schools for women that have fencing in their NCAA programs! A modern-day lure of fencing seems to be the desire of major universities in this country to boast world class fencing teams, making scholarships available in abundance to young and determined fencing enthusiasts. That means there are scholarships for the fencers that do well while in their younger years. Getting a jump on training and competing by starting young is a HUGE advantage. Our Jr. Olympic program will give anyone that advantage. Why pay for college when your child's success in a sport they love can do that for you?
