What should I expect during an official college fencing recruiting visit?

An official visit is a coach-funded campus visit that typically happens in junior or senior year. You will meet the coaching staff, tour the athletic facilities, practice with the team, attend classes, and spend time with current team members. It is your opportunity to evaluate the program as much as they are evaluating you.
