Esports
Here to register for Esports? Great, you’re in the right place.
Video games may not be a physical sport like soccer or baseball, but they still contain plenty of competition and intensity, so we call them Esports.
Think your child gets too much screen time at home? Have them come share that screen time with friends here at the YMCA. Our Esports space is open to the sweatiest of try-hards, and to those just looking for a casual gaming sesh. Expect to improve your skills, and have a great time.
Listed below are all of our Esport programs and their descriptions. Check them out and maybe you’ll find one for you!

In this class we will be assembling a new Crunch Labs project together. We will meet in the Esports Lab, build in a conference room with plenty of table space, and then go to a room or gymnasium for testing.
Participants will get to take home the projects/boxes (completed or not). Any remaining time will be spent enjoying our builds or watching Mark Rober Youtube videos as a class.
Brad Onsgard our Esports Coordinator will be leading the class, and assisting throughout the build.
