What Hardware is Needed?

If you have VR in your district or machines for CTE/CADD/Photo Editing, you are set!
It really depends on the titles you are going to play
CPU – i5 – i9 Processor (Depending on Game)
GPU – GTX 1660TI or better to cover all titles
8GB of RAM, but 16GB is recommended
250GB to 500GB SSD or M.2 to store the games

What Human Power is Needed?

Team Members
A Coach
They don’t necessarily need to be a gamer, but they just need to be there to support the kids and keep the team organized at a minimum
A lot of these clubs can be run by students, but they still need a coach that they are responsible too for grade checks, enforcing school policies, coordinating the continuity of the organization, arranging matches, working with leagues, etc.

What is Needed?

You need a space for these machines where all of the students can practice together 6 to 12 machines is pretty common, but feel free to add more!

In schools this could be a computer lab, STEM Lab, CTE Lab, or some other space in your district that you have been trying to figure out how to use

Teams vary in size from 3 to 6, but 3 and 5 are the most common in high-school Esports and there is often a Varsity and JV team

League of Legends and Rocket League are very common at the High School level (Hearthstone, Overwatch, CS:GO, Fortnite, etc..)
