Greetings all

The purpose of this post is to inform the parents in the Barony of Raven's
Fort that have children that may be interested in the Youth Rapier Program.
This is to serve as an update to the information that I have already
posted. I have recently found and printed copies of The Kingdom of
Ansteorra Complete Participant's Handbook ( Oct 2012 rev), The Society for
Creative Anachronism Inc. Rapier's Marshal's Handbook, and Ansteorra Rules
for Plastic Foil Combat. I will be bringing my copies to fighter practice
for anyone who would like to read them during the fighter practice.

 On page 19 Section 3 - Rapier Combat starting at subsection 1. E. ii of
The Kingdom of Ansteorra Complete Participant's Handbook. States that
Ansteorra will have a separate Youth rapier program for ages 6 to 17 years
of age, with marshal, participant and parent guidelines. The Youth rapier
program shall authorize separately for:

Ages 6 to 13 : Plastic Foil
Ages 12-17 : Foil, Epee and Heavy rapier blades ( Blades not to exceed 37
inches)

In addition separate authorizations are required for offensive secondaries
( i. e. sword and dagger, and two swords also known as case) Defensive
secondaries ( i. e cloak, and buckler) and Melees. Youth combatants shall
not use a weapon that their opponent is not authorized in.

Also on page 19 of The Kingdom of Ansteorra Complete Participant's Handbook
in section 2. B. vi. 1 Protective Gear States that Youth combatants will
wear the same armor as the adult heavy rapier, except for the plastic foil
ages 6 to 13. They may wear a reduced armor being a plastic or mesh fencing
mask equivalent gorget and groin protection for males, with an attempt at
historical clothing.

Section 7. A. i Marshaling Concerns also on page 19 of The Kingdom of
Ansteorra Complete Participant's Handbook states that youth combatants may
not participate in adult melees, but with authorized youth marshals may
participate in youth melees for training purposes.

On page 20 of The Kingdom of Ansteorra Complete Participant's Handbook
section 7.8 states that combatants must have at least one authorized
marshal when actively participating in combat.
