Esports

We are proud to partner with the Missouri Scholastic Esports Federation (MOSEF) to help bring esports to Missouri schools and universities. As scholastic esports continues to expand on an international level, the Missouri Scholastic Esports Federation remains a local resource for schools and students in our state. The educator-led non-profit organization offers both competition and learning opportunities at little to no cost to participating schools, and provides community for coaches and students alike.

Even with the growth of esports, many high school students don’t know that this is a viable extracurricular activity or even if their own high school has a team.

If you are looking to start an esports team, check out the video below for things to consider. MOREnet members’ benefit from our high-speed network, which is a necessary component to any successful esports program. In addition, MOSEF is actively working to provide support to schools struggling with the funding needed to purchase equipment for an esports lab.

For more information on bringing esports to your school, to get involved in MOSEF events, or to find out how you can support MOSEF’s programs, please visit https://www.mosef.org/.
