Esports (competitive video gaming) is more than just play – it’s a growing avenue for students to develop teamwork, leadership, communication, and STEM skills in a structured environment. Esports creates a sense of belonging for students who might not be involved in traditional extracurriculars.
No. Respawn Youth programs are designed to blend competition with education. Students learn strategy, leadership, communication, time management, and often develop interest in STEM pathways like game design, coding, and digital media.
We typically offer one to two sessions per week during the season. These sessions include both competitive play and skill-building lessons. The program is structured to balance gaming with academics and other responsibilities.

That’s perfectly okay. Respawn Youth is designed for students of all skill levels—from curious beginners to seasoned players. Our focus is on growth, learning, and confidence building—not just winning matches.
It’s simple. You provide the space and students and we handle the rest. Respawn Youth provides coaches, curriculum, competition structures, and ongoing support. You just need a designated staff point of contact.
You likely have what you need to get started. Many schools use existing computers with basic peripherals. We can help you assess your current equipment and provide recommendations for low-cost setups if needed.
Minimal. Respawn Youth is designed to be low-lift for schools. Our coaches run the sessions, manage teams, and lead competitions. Your staff just needs to serve as a program liaison and help with room access or basic communication.
Our program emphasizes STEM learning, social-emotional skills, leadership, and teamwork. We integrate structured lessons that complement academic goals while supporting student engagement and personal growth.
Esports programs consistently attract students who may not participate in other extracurriculars. Even schools starting with small student-run clubs often see the program grow quickly once structured opportunities are introduced.
We offer scalable options depending on the size of your program and your school’s needs. Many schools start with a pilot season or explore external funding through grants or PTO support. We’re happy to help you explore funding pathways that fit your budget.

Honestly, when our principal brought up the idea of esports, I did not give it a second thought. I did not know anything about it! I now see the benefits this class can bring to the students at Connections. Developing cognitive skills, teamwork, communication and promoting social interaction are just a few of the incredible contributions this program offers.
Cade Loftin Vice Principal at Connections - New Century Public CharterI was sold when I observed two of our most challenging students working together and smiling. As an administrator, when I enter a classroom, I want to see students engaged. In your class, there is 100 percent engagement, 100 percent of the time.
