Building a Nationwide High School Esports League

Building a Nationwide High School Esports League | eSports - Curriculum and Learning | Scoop.it
From contenderesports.com - May 30, 2019 11:56 PM
Over the last several months much of the media coverage on the growth of the sports has been related to what is happening in colleges and universities. While the growth in this sector is rapid, there is a similar growth pattern in high schools.

The eSports Observer notes, “High schools could prove to be a crucial formative period for any future gaming star. For many institutions, developing a dedicated facility for gaming isn’t nearly as costly as in traditional sports. “Most people are surprised by how easy to build an esports program at their school, and how affordable too” said Parnell. “The biggest onboarding process we have to overcome is the IT equipment. Really understand how the IT network is set up, unblock certain websites…ports for servers, for particular games we’re rolling out.””

Australia's High School Esport League Chases Ambitious Growth in 2019 | eSports - Curriculum and Learning | Scoop.it

Australia’s High School Esport League (HSEL) has had a series of expansion and partnership announcements in recent days that set the organization up for expansion in 2019.

This HSEL is a part of the Adelaide Crows Australian Rules Football (AFL) club, which also owns the esports team Legacy. It bears no relation to the American HSEL.

The Australian school year runs January to December, so right now HSEL is preparing its second season when school starts again in January. It expects to launch the next season, which will run from March until September.
