esports new year

Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and we are excited to welcome you back for a great 2025! Below you’ll find details for upcoming competitive opportunities. 

PETE&C Winter Tournament – We are inviting 8 Mario Kart teams to join us on Monday, February 10 at the Hershey Lodge for this year’s PETE&C tournament! The tournament will run from 10am-3pm and will be single elimination. Each team is invited to bring 2 players, 1 alternate, and 1 coach. To register, fill out the first tab here with your school and coach contact information. We are limiting this opportunity to one team per school.

PSEL Spring Season –Congratulations to our Fall State Champions! We are now getting ready to go for a great Spring season. We are taking your feedback from the Fall and working to make things even easier!

  • Times: All matches will be played at 3:30pm (if you need to reschedule, you can contact the opposing team, but if they cannot reschedule, you’ll take a forfeit) For more information on rescheduling a match – https://help.playvs.com/en/articles/4919262-how-to-reschedule-a-match. If you forfeit, you’ll be required to email a PSEL league administrator and multiple forfeits may result in probation for future PSEL seasons.
  • Titles and Days
    • High School: Valorant (Tuesdays), Super Smash (Wednesdays), Fortnite (Thursdays), Rocket League (Thursdays)
    • Middle School: Rocket League (Tuesdays), Super Smash (Thursdays)
    • Unified High School: Rocket League Duos (Wednesdays) – this is designed for teams with 1 student in special education programs to play with 1 partner athlete
  • Registration – We will be using the Play VS tournament platform this season. All of our titles will be run as Pennsylvania-only competitions, culminating in PA State Championships! Once you’ve registered for each title you plan to play, you’ll need to add your students. This might take a little time, so we recommend doing this at least a week before the season starts. 
  • Dates
    • Preseason: Weeks of 1/27/25 & 2/3/25
    • Regular Season: Weeks of 2/10/25 – 3/31/25
    • Playoffs: Throughout April 
    • Finals: Face to face in May (date TBD)
  • Finals – Finals will be held IN PERSON ONLY. We are finalizing the date for May 2025 and will get that out as soon as possible. Please plan now to travel to spectate or participate. 
  • Mandatory Meeting – Before the Spring season starts, a coach for each team must attend the Mandatory Pre-season Coach Meeting. To make this easier, we are providing two date options. You only need to attend one of the meetings.
  • Who to Contact for Support:

PSEL Partners – Over the last year, we’ve heard your request for additional supports and we are excited to deliver! You’ll see us announcing a few new partnerships over the next couple of months, but we have some we are already able to share! We now have access to curriculum and coaching resources through USAEL, Gameplan, STEM Forged, and NASEF. If you’d like to learn more, please reach out and we can connect you directly with the best person to talk to. 

Excited for a great Spring with you all! 

Best,

Kammas & Matt
