Esports in high schools is still a relatively new activity. And it can be overwhelming to take on something that feels unknown. Our goal is to help you understand what's expected of you as a coach.

Once we define it, we'll discuss how fulfilling this definition can look any number of ways — all of them equally helpful to your players.
