Location: Richmond County Fencing Center, Staten Island Mall. We are in the wing with Starbucks and Zara. Use the entrance in between Shake Shack and Barnes & Noble across from the plaza. 


Travel: Parking is free and abundant. Many local buses stop at or near the Mall, including the S44, S55, S56, S59, S79, and S94.


Just as a reminder, since this is a sanctioned event, USA Fencing Membership is required, and full safety equipment requirements are in force. Masks will be punch tested, and plastrons, knickers, long socks, and FIE Gloves are required.
