Akron is kicking off its inaugural year of Esports this year. Esports has been an activity in the state for about 5 years now, and has been sanctioned with CHSAA for around 3. Even though more titles are offered, CHSAA sanctions 4 titles. Those titles are League of Legends, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, and Rocket League. Akron participates in the first 3 titles on that list. The kids appear to be having a lot of fun, as there are many laughs throughout the week. The participants are learning many social and teamwork skills while practicing and competing. We compete each week at the same date and time, and those times will be shared below along with the rosters of each team. We are working on getting a live stream set up so people can spectate the matches, but that has yet to be completed. We appreciate all the support that everyone has given us in our first year. Here are the rosters of those who have been involved with Akron Esports so far, but many others have expressed interest in the upcoming semester/season.
