The USFA imposes age restrictions on Junior and Cadet fencing categories. For the 2004-2005 fencing year, Cadet fencers must be born in the years 1988-1991 and Junior fencers must be born in the years 1985-1991. Younger fencers can fence in these events ONLY if they are on the next younger age category national point list at the time of the competition! A complete explanation of these requirements is found on the USFA website given here.
