I have absolutely no problem with it as long as there are
the proper marshals available.  Where I fought Rapier back
in Kingdom X, I have know idea of the rules here--let alone
the youth rules.   Personally, I like the idea of anything
that gets young people involved.  We are a fairly "Family
Oriented" bunch (i.e. many members have children under 18)
so if you'd like to arrange it, we'll provide the List.

Here are the Directions (I'll post them separately also).

Take your best route to I-30 east out of Dallas.

Take I-30 east out of Dallas until you cross over Lake Ray Hubbard
into Rockwall.  On I-30 take exit for SR 205, the exit will have a large
Union 76 Truck Stop.  Turn right (south) on SR 205 and go to the first
stop light (approximately 50 yards).  This is SR 276 to Quinlan and
Lake Tawakoni.  Follow SR 276 approximately 19 miles to Quinlan.

As you approach Quinlan, you will see a large water tower to the left.
The speed limit here will drop to 60 MPH followed a short ways after
that by a drop to 45 MPH.  The local police patrol takes these signs
very seriously.  Continue down 276 to the stop light (one of two I might
say).  There
will be a Dairy Queen in front of you across the road.  Turn right and
continue
down to the second stop light (the second one in town....wooo-hoo!).  Go
through the light, and directly to your right will be a strip mall with a
roller rink.  We will be setting up in the field outside.  Look for a large
(15 X 30+)
blue celeste (that's real light blue for you non herald types) shade canopy.

That would be wonderful.  Out our way we basically have two
types of families.  Retirees, and young families.  Sometimes I
think that we loose out on some people who would wish to play
because they don't believe that there is anything for their
children to do in a "medieval" context.  I think that a Youth
Rapier demo, would be a wonderful idea.
