You don’t need to be a gamer - just someone who believes in helping students thrive!

• Simple onboarding process for schools
• Support for staff co-ordinators and coaches
• Local tournaments feeding into national structure
• All fixtures run remotely - no travel required for regular rounds
• Coach and players communicate via private voice channel when remote

With structure, purpose and guidance, esports becomes a tool any school can use.

This is just the beginning.

The Schools Series isn’t a one-off tournament - it’s the first step in a growing ecosystem of opportunity.

Students who engage here can go on to:

• Join their local university’s esports society, many of which are thriving, inclusive and backed by staff
• Compete in the Ireland Esports Collegiate Series, the largest esports competition on the island of Ireland
• Get involved, not just as a player, help organise the programme as a team manager, analyst, shoutcaster and more
• Connect with the wider esports community across Ireland, there are new opportunities emerging all the time

Esports is no longer just online-it’s happening on campus, in classrooms and across communities.

Not just play — a powerful learning experience.

We know this because we’ve had experience building education programmes through traditional sport!

Esports builds more than just skill in-game. It develops:

• Communication and teamwork
• Leadership and accountability
• Digital confidence and critical thinking

As we grow we will build a connection between esports and media, STEM, wellbeing and soft skills.

The Ireland Esports Schools Series is a platform to engage students in education—including those who don’t connect with traditional classrooms.
