Hi, Does anyone have any experience using a college fencing recruiting agency? Like NCSA (but they don’t do fencing). Would love to hear experiences.
You might look thru this thread: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/athletic-recruits/1902048-the-only-college-fencing-recruiting-thread-you-need-to-read-p1.html
I haven’t tried it during my college days but you can refer on the link that was recommended on this post.
IMHO for fencing I wouldn’t bother with a sport recruiting agency. As @Mwfan1921 mentioned, the thread he listed will provide you with more than you need info on college recruiting for fencing. As a parent who just went through this process, it’s really not very difficult process that you can’t do yourself. The real task is in knowing where you stand. Based on your academic stats and your fencing rank as well as how many other fencers are in your weapon and gender and grade, you’ll know which school you may need to target. Unlike the revenue sports, recruiting services may not be of great help.
I’m aware of only one service that exists in the fencing world, with a very very narrow target market. Are you asking because you found an agency or because you want to find an agency? Feel free to PM me.
