The Advanced Program is designed to teach students advanced fencing techniques and strategies for competition. Coaches and experienced referees will provide instruction on sabre fencing rules, while private lessons will introduce more sophisticated tactics and strategies. Regular attendance is essential, and students are expected to participate in at least one major national event (e.g., NAC) and four minor national or regional events unless given special approval by their coaches. Eligibility for the Competitive Programs is based on achieving strong results in events (NACs, SYCs, RYCs) and beginning to earn rankings on the US Fencing National Point List.
