Our REGION currently has four NCAA Fencing Teams in the Western Region |
We consist of a Board of Directors, Support Groups, and Volunteers.
Fencing has seen rapid growth over the past several years due to its increased popularity and the success of the US fencing teams on the international stage. With this growth, a greater demand has presented itself within collegiate fencing. There are a number of fencing teams on the East Coast leaving a larger void in the Western Region. Our goal is to create, fund, and guide new collegiate programs in the Western Region to add to the geographical diversity of the NCAA in the fencing community.
