Esports is a fast-growing non-traditional flexible sport that involves competing via school appropriate video games against other schools within the region. Esports is about reaching students who have a passion for video games and/or technology. Just like for other sports, students are required to remain eligible, consistently attend practice, & remain committed to the program. Esports teaches valuable lessons, such as strong communication, self & team accountability, handling wins and losses, building friendships and a place of belonging. Not only do more high schools across the state and nation build programs each year, but colleges/universities do as well, which can lead to potential scholarships and future opportunities.
