The Central
Coast Fencing Foundation was created by a body of fencers,
coaches, and parents who desired to support and expand the sport of
fencing all along California's central coast. Today, the Foundation's Board
of Directors continues to be made of members of our community from a wide
assortment of clubs, levels, and experience. The Foundation works alongside
the local clubs and coaches to help every fencer toward their goals in
training and in competition, as well as educating the public about our sport
and local opportunities.
Since its founding, the CCFF has been able to serve our community in the
following ways:
● Awarded equipment grants to local clubs
● Funded youth fencing clinics
● Awarded scholarships for youth fencers to travel to summer
training camps
● Awarded scholarships for coaches to attend the National
Coaches' College in Colorado
● Sponsored the Central Coast Circuit Cup, a series of
tournaments for local youth fencers
● Supported local US Fencing Association tournament planning and
scheduling
● Supported demonstrations in local schools
● Funded high-level training for local referees
● Supported collegiate fencing with grants
As fencing on a whole and in our area continues to grow,
the CCFF will continue to play a large part. We remain dedicated to
supporting our local fencing clubs, both old and new. And we will continue to
support youth fencing, through scholarships and the growing Central Coast
Circuit Cup.
