The Academy

School sport, rebooted

Build your school's esports capability with structured, fully-moderated competition — on campus, on weekends, or from every student's home.

"ESA has been working closely with schools to continue their weekday and weekend sport with esports — keeping sport going even through lockdown." — Esports Academy
What ESA manages

We run it end-to-end

Schools bring the students. We bring everything else — and every step is transparent to teachers and parents.

Moderated communications

Social media and communications with students are completely moderated by registered, mature staff with fully-accredited WWC (Working With Children) certification — full moderation, attention and 1:1 attendance to issues, including coaching students on how to handle anything raised and any harassment online.

Game organisation & dual registration

We organise the games with the school and the students, on a full dual-registration system — so enrolled students are the only players in the tournament, every identity is unique, and nobody from the open internet can get in.

Reporting & match-day management

Full management of the tournament and matches on the day — getting players to READY-UP and CHECK-IN — plus parental consent checks made directly with parents, so there is complete transparency from the first whistle to the final score.

How a season feels

Represent your house. Represent your school.

Playing with your school mates for your school house or your school — you will represent! Showing your mastery is what we love, and even first-time players are welcomed into a closed, supervised environment built for learning.

  • Weekday and weekend fixtures that slot into the school sport calendar.
  • Coaches, moderators and game co-ordinators who are experts in each title.
  • Matches broadcast live on Twitch so classmates, houses and parents can cheer along.
  • Age-classified leagues in FIFA, Rocket League, Fortnite, Minecraft, Valorant and more.

More than gameplay

Social etiquette is part of the curriculum

Good sportsmanship and manners are just as important on the internet as they are in real life. We push proper etiquette on Discord, Snapchat and every other chat students use — and our moderators coach 1:1 when tempers flare.

Cheating and dishonesty are discouraged and dealt with swiftly, keeping game play smooth and the environment clean.
