Esports

Schools emphasize maintaining academic eligibility for participation in esports, just like traditional sports. Additionally, many esports programs integrate academic components such as STEM learning, coding, and game design, connecting gaming and education.

Esports is highly inclusive, often attracting students who may not be involved in traditional sports. Programs encourage participation from all students, regardless of gender or physical ability, creating a welcoming environment for students with diverse interests. Schools also work to increase female participation in esports.

Many colleges and universities offer esports scholarships, and participating in high school esports can help students qualify for these opportunities. After high school, some students can even pursue careers in the growing esports industry.
