Hi all youth WF fencers,
Following feedback on the name, purpose and scope of the Welsh Cadet Championships the board have decided to re-name the competition as the Welsh Youth Championships.
The primary purpose of this event is to provide a national championship for our youth fencers and to crown our youth champions each year - the secondary purpose is to act as the regional qualifiers for the British Youth Championships. The final purpose is to provide an opportunity for our youth fencers to gain experience in competitions and get a great day's fencing.
As such we would adjust the format for the competition to align more closely to that of the BYCs:
- Age Groups
- U18
- U14
- U10
- Post poule stages we would then split into specific age group DEs (U18, U16, U14, U12, U10) to crown our national champions
The above is dependent on the numbers that enter for each age group, and we will notify competitors of any adjustments post the entry deadline date.
The entry fee of £20 will remain the same and this enables your entry to all three weapons if you wish to do so. Please notify me if this is your intention.
All other elements for the competition (entry deadline, location and kit requirements) remain as posted on Sport 80 and the WF website.

As always if you have any questions please do reach out
