The Project
Your support for UD Varsity Esports will allow for the growth of a new program at UD. The current Rocket League team has joined the NACE (National Association of Collegiate Esports) along with the NECC (National Esports Collegiate Conference) and will be in competition with other universities this school year.
Who We Are
Students from the Rocket League club want to elevate their ability to compete nationally on a varsity level, representing UD. Our hope is to grow and include more games in the near future!
The Impact
In addition to benefiting the esports athletes, having a varsity program will promote the growing profession of esports for many majors and it will help connect students interested in gaming with one another in community. The objective for the UD Varsity Esports program is to enable students to compete nationally while building community throughout the UD gaming population. In a spring 2022 survey completed by 262 UD undergraduate students, 68% of the respondents indicated that they were interested in competitive esports, or both competitive and casual (non-competitive) gaming. Reasons for involvement in gaming included stress relief, friendship, teambuilding, engagement, and skill development. Varsity Esports will increase the visibility of esports on campus, connecting competitive and casual players through a shared interest.
What Your Gifts Will Do
Your gift will support the current esports team, as well as many future teams as this program begins to grow and take shape across campus. The UD Varsity Esports program is looking to invest into an esports location by using funds to purchase equipment and technology necessary to allow students to compete on campus.
Thanks for Your Support!
