Riposta Cup
We started organising fencing competitions for children shortly after the foundation of our club, knowing that the greatest achievement for a child is to stand on a podium and have a medal around his neck.
The first edition of the Riposta Cup for cadets (U17) was held in 2017.
The competition is part of the official calendar of the European Fencing Confederation, and since the 4th edition, in addition to individual competitions we also organize team competitions.
Over the years, the competition has enjoyed a large participation (more than 200 athletes at each edition), with a total number of 40 countries represented.
The competitions in the first years (2010-2013) were not official, so the first edition is considered the winter 2014 edition.
Over the years, the competition has been held in several age categories (U9, U10, U11, U12, U13, U14, U16), with a large number of participants (over 200 athletes in each edition) and a total of 19 countries represented.
In 2018 we managed to integrate the winter editions of the Riposta Cup Kids into a 3-tournament circuit, which also includes the Mladost Cup in Sofia (Bulgaria) and the CGS Sabre Cup in Athens (Greece).
At the end of the circuit there is a Masters competition, in which the best athletes in the overall rankings participate.
The competition is organised for U10, U12 and U14 children.
