Once a week, 24 teams from the 9 participating schools play virtual matches after school hours. Each team benefits from the support of designated staff members who act as coaches.<\/p>\n<p>All CSC Nouvelon Esports league coaches are members of the Ontario School Esports Association (OSEA). Through CSC Nouvelon\u2019s Esports league, students explore entertaining video games while developing digital literacy skills, sportsmanship, teamwork, communication and school involvement. The integration of structured and balanced electronic sports into school life can also promote inclusion and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Esports are competitive video games played individually or as a team. Contrarily to traditional sports which rely on physical athleticism, electronic sports encourage mental dexterity, strategic thinking and fast decision making. \u2018\u2019We are committed to providing school and afterschool programming that is diversified, innovative and inclusive for all students. CSC Nouvelon\u2019s Esports league is a structured, safe, welcoming and fair environment that enables students to build their sense of belonging within a team and acquire transferable skills essential for the 21st century,\u2018\u2019 stated M.
