The North Carolina Fencing League (NCFL) was formed to provide high school fencers in North Carolina with the opportunity to compete with other fencers & schools in an environment that values honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship. High School fencing in North Carolina is a fast-growing activity, currently supported through high schools as an athletic club. The North Carolina Fencing League is expanding, with new high school fencing clubs being added regularly.
The North Carolina Fencing League strives to attain sanctioning by the the North Carolina High School Sports Association to making fencing a varsity sport option for any high school.
Get to Know Us
Our Mission
The North Carolina Fencing League was established to promote the sport of fencing in High Schools across North Carolina.
Over the last 25 years, fencing has grown by leaps and bounds in our state. Clubs from all over our state have teenagers competing within the League. Our program’s goal is to establish varsity clubs in high schools. This will expose our sport to a larger population and allow for more competition within this peer group.

By being open to learners and more experienced fencers alike, we are intent on growing demand for fencing in High School and College.
While very competitive, we support each other to make fencing great across the state. NCFL works every day to better our fencers, our teams, our community, and our sport.
NCFL & Our Fencing Community
For over twenty-five years, NCFL has organized and hosted tournaments for High School fencers. Throughout our time, we’ve partnered with others to sponsor & support new opportunities to grow our community
In recent years, NCFL partnership with the City of Greensboro, Greensboro Parks & Recreation, and the Piedmont Fencers Alliance have helped us host our Individual State Championship at Barber Park’s Simkins Center. At our zenith, fencers from over twenty schools across the state were competing in this final meet in our competition season including Middle Schools!
As we emerged from hiatus & a lost season, we began rebuilding our community and are very excited to host at Barber Park again on February 28th. This year, we have partnered again with two other fencing leagues to share the venue space. We welcome the NC Homeschool Fencing League (sanctioned under NCHEAC) and the newly formed PisaCafe Youth Circuit in hosting their events at Barber Park as separate events sharing the same fantastic city facilities and fencing resources.
