What is the Youth Esports League?
Similar to other after school sports programs, like the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), the Youth Esports League is designed for all students currently enrolled in 6th - 12th grade.
How Students Sign Up
All currently enrolled 6th - 12th grade students, from any and all schools nationwide, are eligible to sign up for the Youth Esports League on www.eezers.com.
During registration the initial registration process on EEZERS, simply select the school or non-profit that the student is enrolled and after school advisor approval, the student will automatically assigned to that team roster.
If a student isn't already engaged with a local non-profit or school that is participating or the student is homeschooled, the students can play as an individual team by first registering on EEZERS and then emailing support@ezleaguegaming.com
Student Registration is Free
All Youth Teams are created and associated with approved Team Managing Organizations.
Since some games played will be single-player vs single-player and some multi-player vs multi-player, the term "Youth Teams" is used for all types of game competition.
Individual Team names are defaulted to the player's EEZERS Username.
Multi-player teams are defaulted as Managing Organization name and game title.
There is no limit to how many students can compete from a certain school and organization, or how many games any individual student can compete.
Youth Teams are eligible to compete in all Youth Tournaments both online and live throughout the season.
