WHAT IS ESPORTS?
WHAT IS ESPORTS?
The word ‘esports’ is the shortened version of electronic sports and is used to describe competitive video gameplay between teams of individual players. Popular game titles include League of Legends, Fortnite, Rocket League, NBA-Y2K, and Overwatch. Comparable to participation in traditional athletic endeavors, esports captures the inherent benefits of team and community while engaged in an activity that naturally stimulates neuro and cognitive developments.

ESPORTS AND EDUCATION
ESPORTS AND EDUCATION
We’re about more than just games and gaming! The NCEL strives to provide opportunities to connect game experience to the skills needed to thrive in work and life. We emphasize the “scholastic” in school-based esports as it holds an undeniable link to educational attainment. Esports have been proven to increase GPAs and attendance rates in school as our teams and league offer a sense of connectedness and have proven to increase school engagement. By forming a scholastic esports club on their campuses, schools find that their students are more invested in their education. Teachers and administrators who are involved with NCEL programming share countless stories of student success where disengagement, social isolation, and poor school performance has been overcome. NCEL member clubs are seeing their athletes become better players and more importantly, better students with stronger career and life aspirations.. As science advances, the positive connection between learning and play becomes all the more undeniable. The integration of esports into the high school curriculum and sports clubs has quickly become the gold standard for interest-driven learning, the notion that students learn crucial academic and life skills best when engaged in activity geared toward students' genuine interests. BCOE is working to ensure all students not only thrive in their educational journeys but have fun along the way!
