What is UArizona Esports Academy?
While proud of the Varsity Teams and all they achieve, it is understood that the Esports and Gaming Community on Campus is so much more than two Esport Teams. With so many passionate players and so many different esports and games that make Arizona's community so unique, Academy Teams support alternative ways to get involved in collegiate esports for games outside our varsity offerings. If the opporutnity arises, enrollment in Academy could give students a path for future Varsity Esport Teams.
Academy can house a variety of competitive club/academy teams within the esports program, and any Game Title with the association of "Esport" is eligible to form a team. As long as Students can form an eligible team to compete in some form of recognized collegiate competition with the size of team required, the Esports program is willing to support it.
While the requirements are not as intensive as the varsity teams, arena reservations will be considered for teams, as well as streaming matches on the official UArizona Esport twitch. With every team, there will also be potential practice structure/organizational support, team merch/gear, and travel support within reason.
