Greetings Summoners.

I just posted the following as a reply to another thread, and I thought I might repost it as a new thread in case anyone is interested.

I am the "coach" for the MVHS eSports team. We are a team from Mount Vernon High School in Washington. We are using competitive LoL playing to teach teamwork, sportsmanship, and online etiquette. We meet once per week in the school computer lab to practice then have tournaments every once in a while. About 30 students show up per week with skill levels ranging between new players and ranked players with 1800+ wins. We were even able to muster up the minimum 8 teams to have a 3v3 bracketed tournament. Riot approved this as a prized event and provided over $150 of RP for the tournament.

We would love nothing more than to organize with other high schools for competition. If you are interested in what we have been doing, you can contact us via facebook at www.facebook.com/MVHSeSports or email me at MVHSGamingClub@gmail.com. If you are interested in setting up an organized team at your school, find a staff member that is willing to be your advisor and have them contact us. Our program is still in its infancy and we would love to share what we have learned to help others get off to a good start.

This is really awesome, I wish my high school had something like this!

The team was formed because 3 students thought it would be a cool thing to have. They approached me and asked if I would be willing to be their advisor. It took one phone call to our district tech department to get this started. Most schools have computers that can run LoL at medium to high settings. Since League of Legends is free to play, the only thing we needed was space.

Point of this is, don't just wish your school had this. Make it happen.

is this in mount vernon NJ

We are located in Washington.

Yeah i wish my school had something like this

Shameless self promoting bump.

Loammi, what you are doing is an incredible thing. I am out of High School now but I can guarantee you that I would certainly be a part of something like this if I were still there. Can you imagine what something like this could evolve into if there is enough support for it across a wide variety of High Schools?

There is the Football team, our Soccer team, the Basketball team.. and oh - yeah, our LoL team.

I'm from Skyline High School.
You've probably heard of us.
Aww man you guys are so lucky, i doubt we'll ever get a chance to do something like that here.
