Like any of our local sports or activities, our new NBHS Esports team will provide our students between the ages of 14 and 18 with a safe place to embrace 21st-century skills like connecting with their peers, developing leadership skills, learning strategic thinking, and problem-solving with technology. In North Bend, our local high school sports teams and activities have been an integral part of what makes our community so strong. Be it a middle school basketball game or a Jazz band concert, these activities bring our families, leaders, and businesses together. How we, and the world, define sports has evolved over the years. You may not have ever considered playing competitive video games a sport. However, when competition between teams can fill a stadium of fans, rooting and cheering for their favorite players, it’s hard not to consider competitive gaming a sport. When team members work together to coordinate offensive plays, discuss strategies and work out defensive techniques, it’s hard not to see them as a new kind of athlete. Like any sports team, our players need equipment: instead of balls, we need mice and keyboards; instead of a field, we need desktops and monitors; instead of helmets, we need headphones and mics. Your support would help purchase the equipment to build a competitive team, ready to tackle the future. As the area of eSports grows it’s hard to ignore the opportunities it provides. More than 125 colleges offer varsity Esports, awarding more than $15 million in scholarships annually. Our students are ready and excited for the opportunity to team up for their futures. All they need is your support.
