KeSPA Recruiting Schools for Esports Club Instructor Support Program

The Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA) is accepting applications from schools interested in participating in its educational program to promote school esports until May 1.

The implications of this development extend beyond the immediate headlines. As details continue to emerge, the broader impact on the sports landscape becomes increasingly clear.

This initiative was designed to support the use of esports as an educational and recreational activity in schools. First launched in 2025, the program addresses feedback from the field regarding the difficulties teachers face in managing school esports clubs while maintaining professional standards. Following a successful pilot with 19 schools last year, which confirmed strong demand and positive reception, the association is continuing the program this year with field-oriented curricula and professional instructors. The training consists of 20 sessions (2 hours per session, 10 times total) and focuses on two titles: League of Legends and Valorant.

What This Means For You: For fans and bettors alike, this changes the landscape. If you're tracking your team or your wagers, adjust your expectations accordingly.
