eSports at the Y helps your child….

When kids are active in eSports, their self-esteem grows as they learn how sharp their minds are and they develop the mental skills of the game and self-reliance.

Being a good sport shows respect for others and helps keep the game in perspective. Understanding sportsmanship fosters positive habits – in online and offline sports!

Kids learn the basics of online gaming and refine existing skills under the supervision of caring, skilled, and supportive coaches. Creativity and resilience are key in eSports!

Practicing any sport regularly helps kids learn the importance of discipline, organization, showing self-control, and staying focused. eSports takes dedication like any other sport.
