All practices are online using Discord.
Practice is twice a week. Your coach will give you your schedule and be with you at every practice. You’ll connect during practice with your teammates and coach on Discord. One practice will be an hour and a half and include video reviews, the Esports Tower Approach™, aim training, and strategy sessions led by your coach. The second practice each week will be 2 hours long and be a scrim against another team where you can practice what you’ve been working on.
Once a player is registered, he or she will set up their player profile which will include what level you currently play the game at (i.e. Silver, Gold, Platinum, etc.) With that information, we will assign you a team with players that are on a similar level as you and are just as committed to leveling up as you are.
At least for the remainder of the current season. After that, it will depend if the team wants to stay together (most do) and if any of the players have advanced to a new level faster than the others on the team.
You will play other teams in your tier, so that teams are evenly matched. Of course, the sooner you join Esports Tower, you’ll have an advantage in the tournament because you will have practiced with your team longer than newer teams.
A couple times a month, we will have special talks by industry professionals. Previously, we have had college recruiters, representatives from professional esports organizations, people that work in the esports industry, and professionals that work with esports players. We’re always reaching into our great network to bring people that our players will find interesting.

For the $5 a week, each player will be put on a level-appropriate team, practice twice a week, level-up their learning though our proprietary Esports Tower Approach™ training program and be eligible for various recognition awards, prizes, and scholarships throughout the season. All players that are in good standing at the end of the season will be entered, with their team, into our season finale tournament at no additional charge.
The Esports Tower Approach™ is a curriculum developed in conjunction with universities. It teaches life skills that universities and professional teams are looking for in players outside of just gaming skills. Topics covered include: communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, how to be a good teammate, leadership, sportsmanship, and taking care of your physical and mental health.
Yes! Many of our prizes during the season and in our season finale tournaments are college scholarships. These scholarships can be used at any accredited college or university in the United States for any field of study.
For each scholarship award that we give, we work with Varsity Esports Foundation to manage our scholarship fund. Any player who wins a scholarship can use it when they attend any accredited college or university in the United States for any field of study.

Absolutely! Esports is now a billon dollar industry. Just like in traditional sports, professional players can make millions. Also, all other forms of careers are possible in esports such as coaching, sales, marketing, accounting, social media, data science, graphic arts, and so much more.
Registering for a club takes less than 60 seconds. First secure the subscription with your choice of payment. Second complete the player profile form.
No problem. If the player is under 18, the subscription is secured by the player's parent/guardian. Once the weekly subscription is secured, we will send the rest of the registration requirements to the player so they can complete their player profile.
We need to collect player profile as part of the registration process so we can match players to a coach and team complementary with their skill level.
For remote practice, every player will need their own gaming system and personal game copy to play.
We take our players’ safety very seriously. A criminal background check, reference review, and behavioral interview is completed on every employee at Esports Tower.
You can cancel any time.
When we started we hosted in-market local clubs. With the current pandemic, we have moved fully on-line hosting virtual clubs and tournaments. In the future, we will have on-site training programs throughout the country, but in the meantime, all programs are virtual and use Discord.
COVID-19 Precautions
Since COVID-19 has begun, we made the decision to stop all on-site training programs and keep everything virtual until a time when we and our location partners are confident it is safe for our players, coaches, and parents. We’ll keep you posted when things change and appreciate your continued patronage during this global pandemic.
