Metro Esports of Warminster enters into partnership with Central Bucks School District

Posted

Metro Esports, a digital sports production agency and tech-based education facility, located in Warminster, has signed an agreement with the Central Bucks School District (CBSD) to be the district’s Official Esports League, Skills Combine and Tournament Partner.
CBSD is the third largest school district in Pennsylvania and the partnership has the potential to impact 24 schools and more than 17,000 students in its elementary, middle and high schools, as the first school district in the commonwealth to sanction virtual/live esports league play. The partnership gives all interested students a competitive, welcoming and inclusive outlet for gaming.
Managed by Metro Esports beginning in February, four esports seasons will include six weeks of virtual game play, with live playoff and league championship matches hosted at The Metro Gaming Lounge, located on Street Road in Warminster. This first of its kind competitive multi-season competitive esports league will include popular game titles like “Apex Legends,” “Rocket League” and “Fortnite.” In season, the Metro facility will be available for both individual and team practice sessions and one-on-one coaching and skills training.
Elementary gaming and technology enthusiasts will be able to participate in Minecraft games, challenges and learning opportunities, many of which align with the CBSD curriculum. Students will also have access to Metro’s Stem.org accredited technology education program.

Partnering with Metro Esports will afford Central Bucks School District a unique opportunity to offer its K-12 students a combination of gaming and technology-based skill development, an outlet for competing in a non-sport, team activity and the ability to learn about gaming industry and STEM/STEAM careers in a very hands-on way.
The partnership is an innovative approach to creating opportunities for students of all ages, interest levels and abilities to pursue their interests in gaming and technology.
League registration will begin on Dec. 15 on the Metro Esports website, metroesports.gg.
