Esports - The New Varsity Sport
High schools around the country are embracing the new trend of esports, and adding club and varsity esports programs in record numbers. Varsity esports programs help connect students who otherwise would not participate in athletics, and provide new opportunities for student development. And with over 150 colleges currently offering varsity esports scholarship programs, esports now helps students pave their way to college as well!
GYO has been working with high schools and colleges around the country to develop programs and help onboard players. And in March of 2019, GYO hosted an Esports Combine that resulted in over 120 students receiving over $150,000 in collegiate scholarship offers.
Esports is real. It's here. And it's an excellent opportunity for students who may otherwise be detached from their schools' programs. If you need help getting your program off the ground, contact our team and we can help you with the process of implementing a new high school esports program.
Dashboard for High Schools
Operate Your Program and Help Your Students Get Scholarships
GYO Dashboard is a tool built for esports program administrators and esports coaches. For high school programs, GYO Dashboard will manage rosters, schedules, teams, statistics and more. Our platform helps you solve the end to end logistics of esports management, so you can focus on developing your players and providing a great play experience.
As an added benefit, all of the gameplay from your events is compiled into stats sheets for your players, which is then sent to collegiate varsity programs around the world to help expose your players to potential esports scholarship opportunities. By participating in your high school program with GYO, your students are more likely to find scholarship opportunities!

I feel extremely blessed most certainly. It has been absolutely incredible to receive a scholarship offer for playing a game I love - it's like a dream come true. I'm definitely going to be keeping up on GYO.

You never will really succeed if you keep hanging back. You got to go out and try things. You can’t always be skeptical about everything you see.

Smite Scholarship
This is a good opportunity to get into the league scene and hopefully go pro, but also a great chance to get my college degree.
If you feel like you want to pursue this, then you really have to take that leap of faith and play to your best abilities.

League of Legends Scholarship
It was really cool to get these offers from both these places. I never really had that before. And if there were any opportunity to make something of my talents and video games, I would be all for it. I’m going to enjoy it while I can and earn my degree.
There’s no real downside to it (GYO). If you're going to be playing the game anyways, might as well get something out of it!

League of Legends Scholarship
I was SHOCKED! I didn’t think I even did this properly; I didn’t think I was going to get anything from this. Fast forward, and I woke up to an email that I had someone trying to contact me!
When I played ranked, I would occasionally get contacted by college recruiter, but nothing would happen. But through GYO, it's really good because it allows them to come see you and directly see your stats and find easier ways to contact me. It really helps your name get out there.

League of Legends Scholarship
Before GYO, I only opened my own doors to competing at my university. However, after one semester, I decided I needed a new home. GYO was a bridge for me to get my talent out of my box, and into the eyes of many.
I got contacted by five coaches for a number of colleges. Thank you GYO for helping me view myself in a new way and opening doors I couldn’t by myself.

Show them! It doesn’t take much time! All you got to do is log on, play a few games, and your stats will speak for themselves! When you have places like GYO, take advantage of that!
The little time I have to play games, it definitely worth the time to invest in sites like GYO.
