3. Lacrosse - 13% overall, 2.8 % NCAA Div 1

Do you have what it takes to be a college fencer?  ​


​1. Start early.  Give yourself enough time to learn techniques and tactics.

2. Join a competitive club​.  You wouldn't expect your child to transition from a recreational league to a NCAA college team in basketball.  Odds are it won't happen in fencing either.  You need a club  with solid coaching that is open 6 days a week for classes and open fencing.  

3. Practice.  What you put into the sport is what you get out of it.  
​
4. Compete. Competition is a learned skill.  Tournaments are held for children by age group. Start small and local, and build your way up to National level competitions.
