Our FREE Esports Development Clinics (EDCs) are hands-on, collaborative events designed to support the growth of K–12 esports programs. Participants will engage in practical program development sessions focused on starting or strengthening scholastic esports initiatives, as well as learn foundational coaching strategies across multiple game titles. Structured networking and guided discussions will also provide opportunities to share resources, exchange ideas, and build meaningful partnerships within the esports education community. Every attendee leaves with new connections and a clear, actionable plan for advancing esports in their school or organization.
