High Performance Squad

The FSA High Performance Squad (HPS) is the peak representative group for Fencing South Australia. It includes fencers from across age groups, genders and weapons. It is selected at the beginning of each calendar year to prepare for and represent South Australia at national events. The selection criteria are developed to encourage and develop fencers who maintain a commitment to improvement in their performance by performing in and entering competitions at the national level.
