Games We Offer

We carefully choose age-appropriate titles that students already know and love. Familiar titles help students feel comfortable as they learn teamwork, communication, and skill development. This creates a safe space where students build community, grow  friendships, and increase their engagement and desire to attend school.

Professional Coaching

Through our partnership with the Esports Coaches Guild, we provide access to a wealth of knowledge from an elite roster of professional coaches and gamers. This partnership ensures your students and staff receive high-quality instruction grounded in industry standards, rather than just casual advice.

Career Discovery

We go beyond gameplay to explore the professional side of the esports industry. Students dive into creative design, content creation, production, and team management, applying these concepts through real-world projects like team branding and event promotion. This hands-on approach naturally fosters critical decision-making and leadership capabilities.

Competition

We provide a league-season structure for inter-school competition, run by our team. Schools can compete against one another, culminating in a season-ending tournament with prizes and swag. All teams receive school-specific jerseys to foster school and team pride.
