(Colorado Springs, Colo.) — Mark your calendars, tell your teammates and commence the countdown. The full 2022-23 Regional Events schedule is officially here.

The schedule includes more than 100 different events across 26 different states and all six USA Fencing regions. The first regional tournaments of the season will begin Aug. 19 with events in Virginia and New Jersey. The season continues with tournaments held nearly every weekend until early May 2023.

After reviewing nearly 200 bids across all circuits, USA Fencing began the time-intensive process of crafting the schedule.

With that process finished, we are able to share the complete schedule for the 2022-23 season. You might recall that in February, we announced the ROC and SYC schedule for 2022-23. Today’s update adds RYC and RJCC tournaments into the mix, officially completing the calendar for the entire year.

The 2022-23 season will feature around 70 Regional Youth Circuit tournaments for fencers in the Y10, Y12 and Y14 categories. In addition, there will be just over 70 tournaments held across the country as part of the Regional Junior and Cadet Circuit, 49 of which will hold competition for both age groups.

Wondering which tournaments will be held near you? See below for a complete listing and details on each.
