NWFC’s SYC
We invite youth fencers and their families to our upcoming Cascade Clash Super Youth Circuit (SYC)! We are excited to be continuing this tradition. For the 2026-2027 season, our SYC will take place in September. The daily schedule is below.
The tournament will be held at Northwest Fencing Center. Athletes will enjoy our expanded layout, designed specifically to accommodate large fencing events. NWFC is a non-profit organization and is one of the largest fencing training centers in the US.
As a thank you to everyone who attends this event, NWFC offers free parking, wifi, a coffee cart, a taco truck on Sat & Sun, and guest passes to some of our favorite places nearby (Oregon doesn’t have sales tax!). Participants can pick up passes to the Adidas and Columbia Sportswear employee stores at the front desk.
T-shirts and Hoodies will be available for purchase. If you register for the tournament before the August 7th deadline, your fencer’s name will be featured on the back!

Tournament Testimonials:
We prioritize providing athletes, their families and coaches with the best experience possible. Here are what a few of our guests said in about their experience at previous
Cascade Clash SYC’s.
Events started on time and no delays. No long wait between pools and DEs.
space for coaches and parents was perfect in regards to there being a polite distance from the
coaches and parents to the fencers on the strips.
Beautiful facility, a very well-organized event, is well-staffed, and has ample free parking.
through the event as they have multiple people calling out the next fencer. the strips are new and in good condition. parking is easy. Hotels are pretty cheap. No sales tax in Oregon which is nice to keep expenses down like for food. Lots of space in the venue for parents and fencers to
sit.
