LEVEL UP - Windsor Gaming Club




The Windsor Gaming club is an opportunity for students of all backgrounds and

experience levels to socialize and have fun with like minded peers. Connectedness through a

shared interest or hobby helps students build positive and supportive relations with faculty as

well as each other. 


Gaming Clubs help students stay engaged in their school community by targeting three

key areas of growth and development. 

SEL - Social emotional learning takes place every day. Like sports and other passion

        based activities, students learn and model how to manage their emotions, thoughts, and

     actions. Being aware of self and others promotes greater levels of emotional intelligence,

empathy and self esteem.

Connectedness - Connections to peers and trusted adults reduce feelings of loneliness

        and isolation; leading to decreased risk for anxiety and depression. Young adults thrive

        and learn in social settings. They practice important social skills like communication,

        collaborative problem solving and build team working skills while strategizing during game

       play. 

Pro-social values. Team sports of any kind provide an opportunity for coaches to instill

       positive values. Principles and standards of behavior like good sportsmanship, fairness,

     and respect. Persistence, honesty, fun and healthy competition. ( The case for high school

activities, 19)





Competitive gaming has become a billion dollar business with only growth in
sight. Esports are recognized by high schools and colleges around the nation
as both a spectator sport and as an industry. Over 1500 schools are members
inclusive clubs and activities to meet the interest and needs of all students.
of the High School Esport League (HSEL).
Windsors vision is to provide inclusive clubs and activities to meet the interest and needs of all students
