You can't be at every tournament — but you can review every bout. This guide gets your club set up: claim and verify your club, connect your fencers, and start delivering coaching that follows them to the strip.
Your club members upload their competition bouts to their Cloud Vault and share them with you. You watch on your own time, leave notes tied to specific bouts, and that feedback follows the fencer all the way to their next match.
Members tag and upload their competition footage to the club vault — organized, searchable, and ready to review. No chasing down phone recordings after practice.
Leave written coaching notes on specific bouts. They reinforce what you covered on the strip — and feed the fencer's AI pre-bout game plan when they face that opponent again.
Get notified when club members share new videos from their last bout so you walk into the next session already knowing what to review or focus on.
Five tabs run along the bottom of the screen. As a club coach you'll spend most of your time in Coaching — it's where your club's bouts live.
A one-time setup connects you to your club and your fencers. After that, coaching is just watching bouts and leaving notes.
Download the app and choose Club Coach as your role when you sign up — or switch to it under Settings if you already have an account. Pick your club / team; it's the club that confirms you coach there, in the next step.
Tap Request Verification in the app. It costs nothing and needs no membership. FencingVault emails contacts we have on file for your club and asks them to confirm you coach there; if we don't have a contact for your club, we review the request ourselves. Until it's confirmed, your status shows Pending — after that you're a verified coach for the club. Additional accounts can be added as additional club coaches.
Once your club approves, the Club Coach plan is offered in the app. It's an annual membership priced as a token fee so cost is never the reason a club stays off the platform. Your Club Vault, 🏆 Coaching tab, Inbox and coach invites unlock only when both are done — you're verified and on the membership.
Coaches can't see anything by default. Each club member opens their Settings → Coaches, finds your name, and flips you to Can See. From then on, the bouts they upload to their Cloud Vault appear in your club vault.
Tip: make sure your fencers have set their club to yours — that's how they find you in the coaches list.
In the 🏆 Coaching tab, see if any members have requested coaching on a video they shared. You can also provide comments on any video in the Club Vault. Your notes reinforce the lesson, can be viewed at any time by the fencer, and get incorporated into any AI Quick Prep the fencer uses to game plan the next time they meet that opponent.
Fencers stay in control of their footage. Here's exactly where you stand as a coach.
Verify your club, get your fencers connected, and start reviewing bouts from anywhere.
