Youth Armoured Combat (YAC) is a program for SCA kids from ages 6 to 17 to engage in a kid-friendly version of adult Armoured Combat (heavy).
Young people participating in Youth Armoured Combat not only get the fun of fighting each other with modified weapons, they also learn physical coordination, self-defense, self-control, and less tangible skills like teamwork, chivalry, and service.
Youth Armoured Combat, and Youth Combat Archery are run by the Earl Marshall and the Kingdom Marshalls
