That’s Esports coach, Ryan White with one of the FLUCO players during lunch. He’s hoping to recruit some new participants for the upcoming school year and season.
You may have seen this article last spring, highlighting our Esports program and the way it has been impacting our FLUCOS in such a positive way. If not, I strongly encourage you to check it out and become familiar with this increasingly popular program!
I first encountered Esports when one of my colleagues who had just started a program in his division had experienced such success. I had an opportunity to tour the program and see it in action, and was floored. Not only did it open up doors for competition and collaboration for some who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued team activities, but did you know that there are incredibly lucrative scholarships given each year for Esport scholars attending colleges?
“I Don’t Know What’s Going On, But He’s More Alive in Class!”
That’s what one of our teachers told Coach White about one of the Esports players, who’s involvement and success spilled over into the classroom. By collaborating and solving problems together, using something they’re skilled in and love doing, they build powerful connections. Those same skills support stronger learning in the academic setting.
