ESPORTS AT
CHITTENANGO MIDDLE SCHOOL
Why Esports?
Competitive gaming, including esports teams, are co-ed, inclusive, and engage students who might not otherwise participate in school athletics or activities.
Students build character and develop discipline, self-esteem, and sportsmanship through practice and gameplay.
An esports team is a great way to build community during the COVID-19 pandemic, while following the NYS reopening guidelines.
Due to this being able to take place at home, it is an ideal activity since in-person after school clubs are being suspended for safety reasons. This club also could bring together both in-person and remote learners who otherwise might not see each other.
Esports players are often interested in STEM classes and programs. A high percentage of collegiate esports players select STEM majors.
Over 200 colleges and universities offer esports scholarships and are actively recruiting players for their teams.
GET INVOLVED
Due to the Library Media Specialist's reassignment as a sixth-grade science and ELA teacher, the creation of an esports team has been placed on a temporary hold. More information to follow.
Chittenango Middle School is exploring creating an esports team as a part of the the newly created national Middle School Esports League. If think you would be interested in trying out for an esports team, please fill out the form below. This also will help determine which game(s) would be played.
Please note that you must be in 7th or 8th grade.
