A member can declare a division affiliation based on their residence, location of the school that member
is attending or location of the primary club that the member will represent in USA Fencing competitions.
Each fencing season, a member must declare the division affiliation for that membership year. That
division is the one from which the fencer must qualify to the USA Fencing National Championships.
The member may request a change in division if they move to a new geographic location (permanent residence or school) or select a primary club which is located in a different division, and notifies the National Office in writing by email, of the new address and division change request.
Members who are living or working for an extended period outside of the United States or on active military duty can request “national” division affiliation; supporting documentation must be submitted to information@usafencing.org.
