This is why more schools compete on School Esports.
- No Discord and no unmonitored spaces. All communication happens in secure on-platform chats visible to teachers, coaches, and referees.
- Teachers approve every team and student, guaranteeing student versus student.
- Students can lead registration while teachers stay central, so teachers are as active or passive as their workload allows.
- Integrity tools foster a culture of sportsmanship.

Testimonials
What teachers and organisers tell us
Thoughts from the people running leagues to the teachers and students who use it.
School Esports has completely changed how we can deliver esports. We couldn't afford to run more than three game titles, to now running several tournaments with 10+ games year round.
Jonathan JansenCEO, New Zealand EsportsAs a big school with over 3,000 students and 20+ esports teams, if a competition isn't on School Esports, it's not even worth the effort now to register.
Connor GreenTeacher, Rangitoto CollegeRunning a competition of any size has always been a mess of manual data tracking, finding an easy to use platform that has the correct formats, and a battle for true control over the admin functions for tournaments. With School Esports, everything is now all in one place while also being a safe space for students.
