ABOUT US

Providing every student gamer with an opportunity to find and pursue their passions through gaming and learning in school

A HOLISTIC SCHOLASTIC ESPORTS SOLUTION

We founded the High School Esports League in 2012 as a group of high school students who wanted to host and play in League of Legends tournaments. Over time, HSEL expanded into more games and competitions, and began requiring school-sanctioned clubs and teams. At the time, we believed the main benefit of scholastic gaming was connecting students together. But over the last decade, we’ve grown to understand that scholastic gaming has so much more potential. 

 

In 2020, we began operating as Generation Esports, supporting the scholastic gaming space through ventures like the Middle School Esports League and partnered collegiate esports leagues. Additionally, we introduced Gaming Concepts, a set of for-credit courses created by teachers for teachers. These courses leverage students’ excitement of gaming and esports to boost their engagement in school and teach a variety of college and career readiness skills while fostering a sense of belonging. 

 

By working together with educators and coaches, we’ve learned that the combination of both learning and competing is the “secret sauce” for maximizing student benefits. The combination of HSEL and Gaming Concepts will bring educational legitimacy to esports in your school community. 

 

The Generation Esports team is composed of professionals from both education and esports to ensure that decisions are made with students and schools in mind. We are proud to count over 100 years of education experience from our former educators, scholastic esports coaches, and principals.

Since 2012, Generation Esports has grown to more than 200,000 registered users and over 7,000 partner schools - becoming one of the largest platforms for gamers.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ESPORTS LEAGUE

Designed with younger students and lower stakes in mind

It's never too early to engage students with extracurricular activities or unique classroom experiences - so why not start an esports team?

Participating in esports helps students develop the same skills as other sports: teamwork, communication, problem solving, strategy development, coordination, and creative thinking.

The Middle School Esports League allows these key skills develop through safe and secure esports competitions.
