2025–26 Regional Patch Winners: These Were the Top Youth, Cadet and Junior Fencers in Each Region

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — While the 2026–27 regional season is already underway, we still have a few more awards to give out for the successful 2025–26 season. Enter the regional patches.

Exactly 659 regional patches are being awarded for the 2025–26 season across all age groups and weapons. Those patches were earned by fencers from 175 different clubs.

These patches recognize the most successful Youth, Cadet and Junior fencers in each of USA Fencing’s six regions and are based on each fencer’s performance at regional tournaments.

Our Events Team tallied the points to see which three fencers emerged on top of their weapon and age group and will mail a gold, silver or bronze patch to each winner.

Junior and Cadet patch winners are based on the regional point standings immediately following the conclusion of the Junior Olympics.

There are also patches to recognize the top Division IA, Division II and Veteran fencers based on their performance at regional tournaments.

While comparing two clubs across different regions doesn’t tell the full story, we also like to spotlight those clubs with the most regional patch winners. For the 2025–26 season, these were the top seven clubs:

• Globus Fencing Academy: 23
• Space City Fencing Academy: 22
• Alliance Fencing Academy: 20
• Oregon Fencing Alliance: 19
• Renaissance Fencing Club: 18
• Olympic Epee Masters: 17
• Rain City Fencing Center: 17

Congrats to all the winners! Patches will be mailed in September.
