Our Vision
Playing video games in the bedroom can lead to unwanted behavior and it’s anti-social. Kids often rage quit and slam equipment, they are disrespectful to their friends online and this bad behavior leads to aggression and negative behavior traits. Our goal is to teach kids to be better teammates, to respect each other and to help each other get better. We want to make better human beings, not just better gamers.
Our esports Arena
In addition to having state-of-the-art gaming PCs, we have created a mini arena that mirrors the big esports arenas that the pros play in. This lets the players experience what its like to play in the “big leagues” AND offers an opportunity for parents to connect with their children. We want parents to come watch their children on game day just like they would on the soccer field. You’ll be amazed at how exciting it is!
