The United States Fencing Association added Houston to its list of cities on the 2009-2010 Super Youth Circuit (SYC) calendar today.
The Bayou City Fencing Academy will host a SYC tournament Labor Day Weekend, September 5-7, 2009 at the Houston Athletic Fencing Center. The decision to add another location came from the Youth Development Committee in an effort to accomodate fencers from the central states.
Also, the Kentucky Division SYC orginially scheduled during March in Louisville, Kentucky, has been moved to December 11-13, 2009.
The final schedule now consists of eight tournaments spanning across the North Atlantic, Mid Atlantic, Great Lakes, Pacific Coast, and Southwest Sections and includes a tournament every month from September through April.

SYC events allow athletes a chance to earn national points. Fencers may participate in more than one SYC tournament, however, only the competition where the fencer earns the most points will be included in the point standings. These events are part of the qualification paths for both Summer Nationals and Youth 10 and 12 events at North American Cups.
Tournament venues, hotels, and schedules will be posted soon.
