Headline: Learn How eSports Soccer Complements Grass Soccer and Encourage Your Kids to Play Video Games Safely
Parents – we know you are looking for ways for your child to stay engaged during the current suspension of activities. We too, are disappointed that the grass game has been suspended, but we have now put together a complementary esports program to Keep Kids Playing over the coming weeks through online, competitive esports. We now have a custom Club Portal for video gaming and esports to encourage safe, online, competitive video gaming and esports for your children.
-
Within the Club Portal, players can chat with friends and share their gamer information in a private fashion that is limited to other club players and members of our local club. This way we mitigate the concern regarding our players interacting online with random strangers.
-
Parents can see who their kids are playing within the digital space.
-
To curb cyberbullying, the system monitors & keeps track of all communication among players.
-
Should any such negative behavior be identified, the respective player will immediately face disciplinary action including but not limited to suspension or being banned from participating in the league.
-
Additionally, we have created an online league that allows kids to compete and have fun from the comfort and safety of their own homes.
-
Kids will be matched with other players within their age groups
-
After 6 weeks of competition, we will celebrate the winners across all of Indiana.
The cost is only $10 for our first trial program, which will last 6 weeks. Our goal for this league is to help further drive our goals of teaching them responsibility, sportsmanship, and proper competitive etiquette. Competition begins April 2, so sign up today.
