Texas's five USA Fencing divisions

USA Fencing organizes the country into local divisions, and Texas is big enough to have five: Gulf Coast, South Texas, North Texas, Plains TX and Border TX, split along county lines. Your club's county decides your division, it's where you'll fence your first local tournaments, and where you qualify for national events like Summer Nationals and the Junior Olympics.
