Introduction/Overview

Mission & Goals

Youth armoured combat provides a fun environment where the youth of the SCA can participate in a martial activity, mirroring adult armoured combat at a fun level for their age. The goal is to show and learn the ideals of chivalry, honor, courtesy, service, and heraldic pageantry, both on and off the list field.

The program stresses good sportsmanship and parental participation. It is designed to allow the youth to learn more about all aspects of the Society and above all - HAVE FUN!

General Conventions

These rules set standards for minors, ages 6 through 17, to participate the different divisions of Youth Armoured Combat in Lochac.

The rules include procedures and requirements for authorising youth combatants, sparring partners and marshals.

These rules incorporate the requirements of Society-level Youth Armoured Combat rules, and apply additional standards and restrictions for Lochac.

All fighters, parents, and marshals are responsible for knowing these rules to participate.

No matter how clear or accurate, rules cannot replace common sense, good judgment, and concern for the participants. If a question arises when applying these rules, choose the answer that promotes the greatest degree of safety for all participants.
