Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Grievance Form – North Texas Division, USA Fencing
The goal of USA Fencing is "to create an equitable, safe and positive environment for everyone in the fencing community." Should someone witness or experience unfair treatment, it is the duty of all to report such behavior or circumstances
This form is used to provide information necessary to report a concern and/or file a complaint of alleged unfair treatment or discriminatory practices at a fencing event or club as it relates to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion
The national office has posted the schedule for the regional competitions of the 2022-23 season. Please refer to the USA Fencing Regional Events page for complete details.
This is a friendly reminder that everyone who fences at a club must have some sort of membership from USA Fencing. Please see the membership page on the USA Fencing website.
The national office will no longer mail out the membership ID cards except upon request and a $10 fee. It is a requirement of all North Texas Divison fencers to show their USFA Membership card at all tournaments. So print those cards or have the image of your membership card with the barcode saved to your smart phone.
Please be aware that some university and high school fencing programs only allow those school's enrolled students to fence. It is a good practice to inquire with the larger fencing clubs about starting to fence or visiting a club for practice while out-of-town.
