About the Project

The Wolves Virtual eSports Club (WVEC) will be a project focused on 5th and 6th-grade boys and girls at our virtual academy. We will target those identified with social-emotional issues related to isolation during the pandemic and low academic performance due to lack of motivation. Gameplay will occur both in person and virtually for those who can not attend to foster connections and provide incentives for participation in our school community. By using eSports as a platform, WVEC will focus on: being safe while enjoying eSports, building a growth mindset, developing positive character, team building, creating empathy, and learning fundamental eSports skills. Additionally, WVEC will offer participants the opportunity to build relationships with peers by serving as “certified” coaches at Perris Virtual and Blended Academy as they instruct other students about the importance of good sportsmanship and understanding the rules of the game.
