How a season runs.

Three steps from registration to the first match, the same for every organization in the league.

  1. 01

    Sanction the program

    An athletic or activities director registers the school and names a faculty advisor. We confirm eligibility rules with your state association where one applies.

  2. 02

    Roster and consent

    Students register through the age gate; every player under 18 is activated only after a parent or guardian approves by email.

  3. 03

    Season play

    Round robin during the term, single-elimination playoffs, every match on the public board so families and the school can follow along.

Questions organizations ask first.

Does the school need equipment?
Players compete on the hardware and game accounts they already use. Schools that want a lab or a competition space can talk to Esports Pod about a managed build.
Is there a cost to the school?
Entry fees, if any, are set per season and published before registration opens. Sponsorship inventory offsets costs for participating schools.
Which titles are played?
Titles are announced per season and limited to age-appropriate games under each publisher's community tournament rules.

The ladder

One platform, one identity, one sponsor inventory across all five leagues.

Bring high schools, districts and state associations into the league.
