Why Esports in Schools?

By High School Cup, News

Empowering Collaboration, Creativity, and Communication

Esports is taking the world by storm and schools are no exception. Competitive gaming has evolved into a dynamic platform that brings students together in pursuit of teamwork, strategy, and digital literacy. In this article, we explore the key benefits of esports in an educational setting and show how your school can help students flourish through the AEL Schools Esports program. We’ll also take a look at how the Olympic Esports Games is further validating esports on the global stage.

Here are some key areas we see esports as beneficial for schools and students:

1. It Builds Teamwork and Communication

Esports is more than just playing games; it’s about coordinating strategies, analysing opponents, and maintaining clear communication; all under time pressure. These are the same soft skills students need in group assignments, sports teams, and future workplaces. By working together in a virtual arena, students learn how to:

  • Collaborate effectively: Sharing responsibilities, encouraging each other, and combining diverse strengths.
  • Communicate clearly: Using concise language to plan strategies and provide real-time feedback.
  • Respect different roles: Appreciating each player’s unique contribution, whether in leadership or support roles.

These skills carry over into the classroom and beyond, helping students excel in projects, presentations, and other extracurricular activities.

Whether it’s mapping out a strategic play in Marvel Rivals and Minecraft: Capture the Flag or coordinating roles in Rocket League, students must work cohesively to achieve a common goal. This environment naturally develops teamwork, fosters respect for diverse skills, and enhances students’ ability to communicate and tackle challenges collectively.

Esports clubs serve as social group that can bring together students from different backgrounds, encouraging participation in an activity where students can make new friends, engage in new learning experiences and showcase their talent promoting a positive school culture. Additionally, team captains learn leadership skills like delegating tasks and motivating peers.

2. It Develops Problem-Solving and Adaptability

Critical thinking is at the heart of every esports match. Players must quickly adapt to new challenges, reacting to an opponent’s unexpected move, tweaking their tactics mid-game, and managing limited resources effectively. This active problem-solving translates directly into academic success, especially in subjects like maths, science, and technology.

  • Rapid Decision-Making: Students learn to evaluate scenarios in real-time and pick the best course of action.
  • Strategic Mindset: Whether it’s controlling territory in a strategy game or coordinating roles in a team shooter, success depends on planning and execution.
  • Resilience and Growth Mindset: Losing a match can be a stepping stone to improvement. Students reflect on mistakes, refine their approach, and come back stronger—an invaluable life skill.

Each match is a lesson in tactical problem-solving. Players must quickly adapt to changing scenarios, capitalise on opportunities, and mitigate risks. By learning to think on their feet, students gain real-world skills that translate to better performance in science, maths, and other STEM areas. Students often brainstorm tactics and share feedback in online environments, which fosters digital literacy and effective expression.

3. It’s Gaining Global Recognition (Olympic Esports Games)

One of the strongest endorsements of esports as a legitimate form of competition comes from its inclusion in the Olympic Esports Games (OEG), an initiative by the International Olympic Committee who unanimously voted for the creation of the OEG during the 142nd IOC Session in Paris. This global platform brings together digital versions of sports and competitive gaming, showcasing how skill, sportsmanship, and respect are just as vital in the virtual arena as they are on the physical field.

By aligning with Olympic values, esports proves that it’s not just about gaming; it’s a credible sporting activity that teaches discipline, fosters inclusion, and encourages excellence. This worldwide recognition should reassure parents, teachers, and school administrators that esports has a meaningful role in shaping future opportunities for students.

The first OEG will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2027 as announced by the IOC 11th February 2025. The road to the OEG 2027 starts this year!

The AEL works closely with Esports Australia the national body working with the Australian Olympic Committee, to build the national esports ecosystem that provides Australia’s youth the opportunity to compete, grow and showcase their talent in esports. A critical component towards Australia finding their next Olympic talent.

4. It Opens Doors to Future Careers and Opportunities

As the digital age expands, so do career pathways tied to esports. Beyond becoming a pro player, students can explore:

  • Content Creation and Media: Streaming, shoutcasting (commentary), video editing, and marketing.
  • Technology and Development: Programming, game design, data analysis, and software engineering.
  • Event Management and Coaching: Organising tournaments, coordinating teams, and training emerging players.

With esports offering a gateway to STEM fields, creative industries, and even entrepreneurial ventures, it’s an excellent springboard for students to discover new passions and build real-world, in-demand skills.

Conclusion: A Modern Sport for Holistic Growth

Esports brings collaboration, problem-solving, global visibility, and real career pathways to the table, making it a compelling addition to any school’s extracurricular or co-curricular line-up. It engages students with community, fosters inclusive teamwork, and nurtures the very talents demanded in our ever evolving technology driven world.

If you’re a student advocating for esports in your school, share these four key points with your parents and teachers. If you’re an educator or parent, consider how esports could amplify digital literacy, confidence, and engagement for young people under your guidance. The future of education is innovative, hands-on, and digital—and esports is leading the charge.
