Expectations

This program promotes a fun, safe gaming environment. We cover gaming basics with all students and we do not tolerate poor sportsmanship or other toxic gaming behaviors. Students that are exhibiting these behaviors, disrupting the environment for others or damage equipment may not be allowed to return to the program. In addition, students must be picked up on time. If students are consistently picked up after the dismissal window, the student will not be allowed back to the program.


All students are expected to follow the FISD Code of Conduct and any school rules as well. The goal of this program is to allow kids to have a positive interaction with esports, to assist with social and behavioral growth, and to foster a growing passion in esports across this generation.

Gaming Specifics

Students will utilize the Nintendo Switch system and Joy-Con controllers to play a variety of games. Games will be age appropriate based on the ESRB rating system. A description of the current rotation of games is listed below:

Mario Kart: This is a kart-racing game in which players compete with characters from the Mario universe.

Super Smash Bros: This is a fighting game in which players engage in brawls with characters from Nintendo and third-party franchises.

Splatoon 3: Splatoon 3 is a family-friendly, action-packed competition where players use colorful ink to cover the ground and work together to claim the most territory.

Ratings and descriptions are provided by the ESRB. Please keep in mind that ESRB does not rate online game play experiences. Gameplay experiences across any platform should be monitored and discussed with your child before they go online. During esports meetings, all games take place offline in local mode.
