    eSports

    Esports, or Electronic Sports, is a competitive gaming medium that challenges gamers to play against one another to win. Often this involves playing in teams to reach the goal as a unit working together. While each player uses his or her own gaming system, often a headset is used for communication between gamers. Esports requires teamwork, communication, critical and strategic thinking, creativity, sportsmanship, and leadership—much like traditional sports. This can all be viewed and heard live online, which has helped esports grow into a spectator sport and a billion dollar industry that's predicted to continue to grow.

    Esports is an extracurricular activity, which means students will need to attend team meetings, practices and official matches. Unlike many other sports, esports can be played remotely so the costs of travel are kept down. This is also a positive for students who don't like change or are unable to travel due to physical or mental health constraints. Each school year is divided into two regular seasons across Fall and Spring. Each one of these includes its own playoff season during which the top teams from each school compete head to head for the district championship! Our 6 eSports that we compete in are:

    • Rocket Leage
    • L.o.L.
    • Super Smash Bros
    • Smite
    • Madden
    • NBA2k
