BIRTH
YEAR VERIFICATION AT SUPER YOUTH CIRCUITS
The national problem regarding ages of junior
athletes
has reached fencing. As a result, we will ask all
fencers to show a copy of their birth
certificate,
passport page, or another government-issued
identification document as proof of their birth
year
at a Super Youth Circuit this season.
The Youth Development Committee, along with
Regional
Youth Coordinators and Local Organizers, is
working
with the National Office of the
United States
Fencing
Association in this process. Once a fencer's
birth
year information is verified at a Super Youth
Circuit,
the National Office will receive the information
and
store it in their membership database. The goal
of the
process is to have the fencer present proof of
birth
year one time only and for the National Office to
retain its records of this information
permanently.
If you have questions or comments, please contact
the
Chair of the Youth Development Committee,
Maureen
Griffin (maureengriffin@yahoo.com).
We appreciate your help and thank you for your
cooperation.
