The pilot league is open to fifth- through twelfth-grade students interested in competing against peers from cities across the Central time zone such as Dallas, Omaha or Chicago.

The pilot program games will include Rocket League, NBA 2K21 and Super Smash Bros. Participants will need their own home platform
and whichever game they select to play.  (Platforms include XboxOne, Playstation4, and Nintendo Switch)

The eight-week season, which includes a weekly practice with character development and a competitive
match, will begin Monday, April 5 and end Thursday, May 27. Play is open to Y members and non-members. The cost will be $20 for the pilot season.

The Middle School Division is for students in Grades 5th-8th.  (Mon/Wed 6p-7p)

The High School Division is for students in Grades 9th-12th. (Tues/Thurs 6p-7p)

Sign-ups open Wednesday, March 17 and close once 50 participants have registered.

The pilot is the YMCA of the USA’s first step toward bringing prominence to esports with a goal of creating a national YMCA league in the near future.

This league is separate from YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City’s esports league and gaming partnership with the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO).
