Minecraft

This is a very simple esports team to support. As long as you give them the rubric and schedule of builds you should really only spend about 2-3 minutes during your club time with this team

Mario Kart Time Trials

This esports team is made of 7 racers. Students will know "ALL" the courses before the season starts and should be practicing each week and at home if possbile. There are videos showing the "fastest routes" in the EPIC lesson plans.
