This was originally posted to the Fencing in the News board as part of the regular news thread. Rather than have it get lost as later news articles get posted, I have quoted it here, which is a more appropriate board, I think, with its own thread title. Please take a moment to review our High School Fencing Site. High School Fencing is growing in the United States and we feel the time is right to launch a starter site followed by a web site. Also, we welcome feedback. highschoolfencing.blogspot.com/
The purpose of this site is the advancement of High School Fencing in the United States. Coaches and High School Administrators are invited to post results and commentary. Fencers and Parents are invited post commentary, not results. We have received positive feedback from several college coaches saying they will be checking this site. This shall become a web site during 2009. If possible could you give us a link www.proprintwear.com Philip Daly I think both Jerry Dunaway and August Skopik may find the site of interest... or, conversely, the folks running the blog may find their activities of interest. I also saw a similar post from the ProPrint folks on the local KHOU TV Forum.

I looked at their site. It does seem set up to focus on high-school level fencing in each state/region (although they should have added Texas if they are posting to Texas-based fora). This is a good thing.
What is needed here in the Gulf Coast Division are more high school fencing clubs. There are lots of high schoolers fencing in our local clubs, but they should also have school clubs to compete against each other.
High schools thrive on friendly rivalry and competitions between school would do far more to raise the number of competitive fencers in this division than anything the extant professional clubs can do.

The quoted post below was strangely written as a reply to an old thread about Conor Power. I have moved it to a more appropriate thread...PROPRINTWEAR HIGH SCHOOL FENCING highschoolfencing.blogspot.com/ www.proprintwear.com
Could you please look this over and consider our request for links…
The purpose of this site is to further High School Fencing in the United States. Coaches and High School Administrators are invited to post results and commentary. Fencers and Parents are invited to post commentary, not results. We have received positive feedback from several college coaches with regard to the creation of this blog. This is not a site intended to cause pain or grief, but rather give national prominence to the Athletes and the Sport.
We at Proprintwear are proud of our association with the sport of fencing. Our owner was first a Fencer, secondly a National Referee and now a business owner committed to furthering the image of fencing.
We have added a “Where to Fence” and “Fencing Camp” Sections to advertise fencing clubs and fencing camps. If you like to be posted send us a request. This could be extremely helpful in the recruitment of new fencers.
You will find a short survey at the bottom of the page. Please feel free to contact us with suggested questions at proprintwear@optonline.net. If this site is well received, we shall have a web site constructed to further enhance the development of High School Fencing in the United States.
If possible please provide us with a link to our website using the attached file at www.proprintwear.com and a second link to our High School Fencing Blog at highschoolfencing.blogspot.com/
Sincerely, Philip J. Daly Proprintwear
