Why School Esports

Built for how schools actually work

If you've ever tried to run school esports on a vanilla esports platform, you know the challenges. They simply can't do everything you need them to do and can feel like more work. School Esports is designed exclusively with schools in mind, to make onboarding and competition a breeze for even the newest teachers and students.

Purpose-built

Actually simple onboarding

Teacher approval, safeguarding, and simple registration are the core experience.

Safeguarding

Safe by design

Say goodbye to Discord and unmonitored spaces. A safe environment for all that promotes accountability and sportsmanship.

Automation

Runs itself

87.3% of matches complete with no admin intervention, measured across 6,417 real matches.

Expertise

Industry leader expertise

Built independently on years of national scale experience.

Unique features

Tools for schools

Student coordinators, smart rematch recovery, player of the day rewards, and more.

Safe by design

Teachers always in the loop

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.

School Esports mobile app showing a student's teams, matches, chat, and notifications

Each platform comes with a dedicated app with your branding that teachers and students use to stay on top of match chats, schedules and results.

Runs itself

Esports without the admin burden

Focus on what's important, and let the platform handle the busywork.

  • Student-driven rescheduling: teams agree new times between themselves, inside monitored chat.
  • Team score confirmation: both sides report and confirm, results post automatically.
  • Referee panel: the rare disputes route to volunteers or staff as tickets, not emails.

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.
Portrait of Jonathan JansenJonathan JansenCEO, New Zealand Esports
As 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.
Portrait of Connor GreenConnor GreenTeacher, Rangitoto College
Running 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.

Can we run free competitions?

Are there processing fees?
