USA Fencing announced earlier this month that sanctioning of in-person non-competition activities could resume\u00a0in locations where the clubs are permitted to operate or reopen by local and state laws, regulations, executive orders and other legal mandates regarding COVID-19.<\/p>\n
As states and municipalities begin to release more information regarding opening dates for businesses that include fencing clubs, USA Fencing is now issuing\u00a0Return to Fencing Guidelines<\/a>\u00a0that address suggested precautions for fencers and their families, club owners, coaches, administrators and division leaders.<\/p>\n The Return to Fencing Guidelines are recommendations, not mandates. They are based in significant part upon current guidelines promulgated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and other publicly available resources. The knowledge surrounding COVID-19 is constantly changing and clubs\u2019 circumstances may differ depending on their geographic locations, facilities, memberships and other factors. Accordingly, USA Fencing encourages clubs and participants to implement the following measures, to the extent reasonably possible, as minimum precautions.<\/p>\n As a reminder, USA Fencing\u2019s sanction, and thus its insurance coverage,\u00a0will apply only to areas in which clubs can be open legally.<\/p>\n If you have questions or concerns regarding the Return to Fencing Guidelines, please contact\u00a0information@usafencing.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.usafencing.org\/news_article\/show\/1106819\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Return_to_Fencing_5.26.20<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" USA Fencing announced earlier this month that sanctioning of in-person non-competition activities could resume\u00a0in locations where the clubs are permitted to operate or reopen by local and state laws, regulations, executive orders and other legal mandates regarding COVID-19.
