What is Esports?

Esports or electronic sports is a collection of competitive video games. Through Esports students who don't normally engage with school activities and sports are given an opportunity to engage through something many high schoolers enjoy doing in their free time. Esports give these students a chance to participate in a team environment and learn to communicate with their peers. Esports is also taking off on the college level as well and opportunities for scholarships are starting to pop up! Although Esports is different than Gaming Club, if you are interested in joining the Esports team, please contact Head Coach, Dan DeYoung by emailing him at [email protected]
