Esports, also known as competitive video gaming, involves teams or individuals competing against each other in various video games. It has a professional and amateur level, with players competing for prizes or recognition. In recent years, esports has gained popularity in high schools and colleges, with the formation of leagues and tournaments for students to participate in.
What are the benefits to your students?
There are several benefits to participating in esports at the high school level. One of the main benefits is that it encourages teamwork and communication. Esports requires players to work together and communicate effectively in order to succeed, which can help students develop important teamwork and communication skills that are applicable in a variety of settings.
Addition Benefits:
Additionally, participating in esports can promote physical and mental health. Although it involves sitting in front of a computer or console, it can still be physically and mentally demanding. It can help students develop hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and problem-solving skills, as well as provide them with a sense of purpose and community, which can have positive effects on mental health.
Esports can also enhance computer and technical skills, as it often involves the use of advanced technology and software.

How We plan on keeping your students safe:
While esports can provide many benefits, it’s important to ensure that it is done safely. One way to do this is by encouraging students to take breaks and stretch regularly to reduce the risk of eye strain and other physical issues. It’s also important for students to balance their time spent playing video games with other activities, such as homework, exercise, and socializing.
In addition to physical safety, it’s important to be aware of online safety concerns and to take steps to protect personal information and prevent cyberbullying.
Finally, it’s important to follow guidelines and rules set by esports programs or organizations to ensure a safe and fair competition.
