What is esports?

Esports is the combination of the games that students love and play with the competitiveness, teamwork, and team structure found with other scholastic team based sports. Esports affords students the ability to gain valuable life lessons and social skills that students learn in a team sport atmosphere. 45% of current esport athletes say that esports is their first experience in an after school activity, which is a leading factor contributing to esports being the fastest growing sport in the United States.
