Get the game started with our competitive Esports leagues for all levels with games such as Super Smash Bros, Rocket League, and Fortnite. Esports is an included program for YMCA members.
Esports is a competitive sport through a video game requiring the use of strategy, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills to achieve individual or team success. And it’s bigger than ‘just gaming’. Esports allows kids and teens to be engaged in a non-traditional sports program.
Esports at the AMA YMCA is a partnership with STEM It Up Sports.
