Share:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — We're hitting the road again.

The 2026-27 Listening Tour is a chance for athletes, parents, coaches, officials and fans to share their ideas and feedback directly with USA Fencing's leadership. CEO Phil Andrews will travel to national tournaments and a few key cities throughout the season to meet one on one with members of the fencing community.

The Listening Tour has become one of the most direct lines between members and the people running the organization. Feedback from past tours has helped shape USA Fencing programs and initiatives, and we want to keep that conversation going.
