What should I include in a fencing recruiting email to coaches?

Expert guidance for fencing athletes pursuing college recruitment

Quick Answer

A strong fencing recruiting email should be concise (under 200 words) and include: your graduation year and weapon, current JNPL ranking, recent competition results, GPA and SAT score, a brief statement of interest in the program, and a link to your recruiting profile or video. Coaches receive dozens of emails — make yours easy to scan and immediately relevant.

Key Points

  • Subject line: 'Class of [Year] [Weapon] Fencer — [JNPL Rank] National Ranking'
  • Opening: graduation year, weapon, current JNPL ranking
  • Body: 2–3 recent results, GPA/SAT, why this specific program
  • Closing: link to recruiting profile, offer to send video
  • Keep it under 200 words — coaches skim, they don't read essays
