Esports is a term derived from “electronic sports” and is essentially competition in video games at a very high level, similar to traditional sports.

Esports titles vary from team-based games to individual games with each title assuming a certain genre. Genres vary from multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBA) to real-time strategy (RTS) and first-person shooters (FPS).

At Jefferson Academy, all games offered to our high school students for competition purposes are either rated "T for Teen" -- games that are appropriate for students 13 years or older -- or "E for Everyone" -- games for all ages. Players must be 13 years or older to participate in the high school leagues.
