A series of 6 events to select a Scotland representative U13/U15 squad to compete in all six weapons in the “Challenge Wratislavia in March 2016.

Scottish Fencing and The Foundation for Scottish Fencing are running a series of competitions for under 15 and under 13 fencers in 2016-17 again. We will use these to select fencers for Challenge Wratislavia in March (and potentially one other foreign competition if the Youth Weapon Coordinators can find a suitable option).

There will be competitions for Boys and Girls Foil, Epee and Sabre in three age categories: Under 14, Under 16 and over 16. There is a Master at Arms award for fencers who enter all three weapons. And there are trophies for the Best Boys' and Best Girls' School.

The cost to enter is £22 for a single weapon and £32 to enter two or three weapons.
