Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ireland Esports Schools Series?
The Schools Series is Ireland’s official national esports programme for schools. Designed with teachers, young people and and parents in mind, it provides a safe and engaging way for students to compete in popular esports titles akin to how schools deliver after-school sports teams.
How does esports compare to traditional school sports in terms of the benefits and structure?
Like football or rugby, esports involves team practices, tournaments, and goal-setting. The main difference is the digital platform, which can be especially engaging for students who thrive in tech-based activities. Contrary to public opinion, to excel in esports it requires mental fitness but it also requires physical fitness.
