Northern Colorado Fencers was started in 1979 by Head Coach Gary Copeland; NCF members have had enormous success in winning both national and international individual and team titles. (Click here for a PDF listing NCF's individual national champions through 2005.) NCF fencers have recently been awarded fencing scholarships to Ohio State and Penn State Universities.

However, NCF’s mission is to enable every member to reach his or her potential and to make this achievement as satisfying and enriching as possible. For some, this means winning as many fencing titles as possible, while others prefer to concentrate on recreational fencing.

We have worked hard to create an environment that strongly suits a wide range of desires for our members by:

• actively supporting very young children who are interested in learning the basics of our sport.

• encouraging a wide range of intermediate fencers to enjoy the sport and, if they choose, to take their skills as far as they can in the competitive arena.

• providing training, coaching, and guidance to an advanced group of fencers to succeed at the top tier of the national and international fencing stage.

NCF is structured to make sure that fencers will be able to find success at the Club regardless of their personal objectives.

All of our fencers are important to us. They each help to create the multi-faceted environment at the Club that we believe is so important. We are very proud of what we have accomplished and we hope you will join us as we strive to do even better.

NCF is a member of the Colorado Division, Rocky Mountain Region, of the United States Fencing Association.
