Competitive Gaming operates in both the Fall and Spring semesters and follows a similar MSHAA-approach to an 8-week competitive season, followed by playoffs. Students practice and compete against high schools state-wide in a Missouri STEM accredited league (MOSEF). The winter season is the "off-season", where students can take advantage of Community Days and Open Practice time.
Esports is now recognized as an "emerging sport and activity" by MSHAA. Students interested in joining one of our competitive teams are eligible to earn a Varsity Letter if they attend 80% of all practices and competitions.
Competitive teams are expected to practice Monday-Thursday, from 3:00pm-4:30pm in the Esports Center, located on the North-End of the Vianney Campus. Competitive teams will have 1 competition day per week (competition days/times are subject to change per the league).
Cost: The cost to join Vianney Esports is free! Additional costs may include: one-time fees for league registration and/or purchasing game titles.
GPA: Minimum requirement is a 2.5. Students with a D/F will be notified, and must communicate a teacher-approved academic plan to both Esports Moderators for approved return to practice/competitions.
Games: Overwatch, Rocket League, Rainbow Six: Siege, Valorant, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and more!
