Parafencing

Each year, USA Fencing hosts parafencing competitions at two North American Cups alongside able-bodied events as well as the USA Fencing Parafencing National Championships, which is typically held in conjunction with the Division I National Championships.

U.S. tournaments are open to any parafencer age 13 and older with fencers of all classifications fencing in the same event.

In 2018, the IWAS Wheelchair Fencing Executive Committee agreed on the introduction of a fee for the registration and licensing of all wheelchair fencing athletes, coaches, and referees. This license will be introduced from January 1st, 2018 and will run annually ending on December 31st each year.

All athletes must be registered and licensed before they are entered into any IWAS competitions. Please contact b.mahr@usafencing.org if you need an IWAS License.
