to the official site of the Pittsburgh Scholastic Fencing Conference, a high school fencing league in Western
Pennsylvania consisting of clubs from Bethel Park, North Hills and Upper St. Clair High Schools. This site is intended
to provide fencers, coaches and fans of the PSFC with easy access to all the latest PSFC news as well as up-to-date schedules, results
and statistics.
The PSFC was formed in 2002 when Allderdice, Bethel Park, North
Hills and Upper St. Clair decided to withdraw from the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Fencing Association and
form their own separate high school fencing league. (Allderdice left the PSFC following the 2007 season.)
The mission statement
of the Pittsburgh Scholastic Fencing Conference is to help the youth of the Pittsburgh area develop as student-athletes by
fostering the ideals of teamwork, school spirit and fair play through the promotion of interscholastic competition in the
sport of fencing.
As of the 2008
season, competition will be conducted in two separate fencing conferences, one for foil and one for epee.
All teams face one another in head-to-head competition three times during the regular season, and the team with the best
record at the end of the season wins the conference championship. All matches are conducted on weekday evenings in the
spring. (See the schedule for more details.) They consist of nine "round-robin" bouts between co-ed teams of three
fencers and one alternate. The first team to win five bouts wins the match.
Thanks for taking a look at the site. Be sure to get in
touch with your thoughts and suggestions. We'll be updating frequently during the season, so please check back often.
IN FERRO VERITAS!
