The Long Island Gaming League (LIGL) is excited to introduce our Understanding Esports program, with a focus on education, training and professional development, to K-12 schools, non-profits and small businesses. Our industry partnerships combined with facilitators coming directly to your sites to offer mentoring, use of machinery and technology helps us create an engaging and educational environment for the youth while giving them an opportunity to play and learn in a casual or competitive esports environment. 

Esports is more than just playing games—it can be used to help students grow their interests STEM Fields and develop valuable life skills. Many of the skills acquired by gamers are in line with STEM initiatives. Since there are more students than after school programs that holds their interest, it’s about time we foster an opportunity that will incorporate a fun and educational setting in a form they are accustomed to using at home.
