We are proud to announce a partnership with PlayVS to bring esports to Pennsylvania! Thousands of high schools across the country are reaching a brand new student body by offering esports and unlocking many student benefits along the way.

PlayVS is our official high school esports partner. They offer the most popular, team-based titles including Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Rocket League, Valorant and more. Our partnership will create dedicated esports leagues in Pennsylvania to give students a new avenue for school engagement, social development and extracurricular activity.

“The Pennsylvania Principals Association is looking forward to our new partnership with PlayVS, as we seek to unlock the amazing benefits that an esports program can bring to our schools,” said Dr. Eric Eshbach, PA Principals Association Executive Director. “Esports is one of the fastest growing activities across the United States and provides students valuable life skills such as leadership, socialization and teamwork that they can take with them beyond high school.”

PlayVS offers free esports competition for those participating. PlayVS also has the ability, through their game partnerships, to offer free game codes in certain titles for schools that need help in starting a program.
