Our Esports program primarily runs in 10-12 week sessions. SEL members meet once a week for approximately two hours to practice together and learn about the broader Esports industry.

Each class focuses on a different area of the Esports industry, such as business, media & marketing, technology development, and health. Participants gain hands-on experience in each of these areas through guided activities by one of our coaches. Everything learned during class time then gets applied to the development of the team as a whole!

For specific session dates and times, please visit our registration page.

SEL members and teams will have the opportunity to participate in any and all EdSports tournaments throughout the year! Teams and individual players will also be exposed to local and regional events and tournaments to strengthen their practice and build their skills.
