priority to all fighters. Also it is required that
marshals are present and that they monitor equipment,
field and participants at every SCA practice and meet.

- Of course! Women make up a good
percentage of the fighters as well as being some of the
best ranked.

- 14 years of age, but please check the rule
sets, because this could change and special permissions
need to be in place for under 18.
- How much does it cost?
- FREE! it is not required to be a SCA
member and loaner gear is available at most practices.
Twin moons (east valley) has a large amount of
loaner gear and all you need to
provide is a long sleeve shirt (typically) and men
require their own groin protection (cup).
