About Youth Combat
In the SCA, youth armored combat is an exciting sport for kids aged 6 – 17, who train and engage in mock duels and battles, using foam-padded weapons and protective armor for safety.
Youth combat takes place at SCA events and local practices, under the supervision of trained and background-checked adults known as youth marshals.
