Grand View University - Varsity eSports Recruiting
Greetings,
My name is Cole, I am the Head Coach of Grand View University's eSports team. Grand View is based out of Des Moines Iowa, this year, U.S. News & World Report ranked Des Moines the ninth best place to live in the United States. Des Moines has extremely affordable living, a lively downtown center and a plethora of jobs, especially those withing the tech and financial sector.
About GV eSports: We are a newly formed, varsity collegiate sport under the NAC eSports governing body and the NAIA. Grand View recognizes eSports as collegiate athletics, therefore, we offer all levels of scholarships equal to top NAIA sanctioned sports. Currently, we are in construction of our brand new eSports arena/Varsity game house. Renderings of the future arena will be shown to any prospective athletes upon campus visit.
Snce we are newly formed(March 8, 2017), we have an open roster and recruiting has started. I am looking for all roles, Varsity level and JV. Primarily we are focusing on graduating high school seniors(2017) LoL players, but are also encouraging transfers and international students.
Open Roles: Varsity: 7 open slots JV: 6 open slots
All Varsity student athletes will have scholarships, athletic and academic(if applicable) . Junior Varsity student athletes will not be eligible for athletic scholarships, but Grand View Prides itself on awarding a high amount of academic scholarships.
Our season begins in August, so the recruiting/signing process will move quickly. That goes for incoming freshman, transfers or graduate students interested in joining Grand View eSports. First, upon a contact of interest we will set up a campus visit ASAP and get things moving from there.
Note: Along with our Collegiate eSports Program, Grand View is unveiling our new Game Design Major. This program will focus on every aspect of Game Design from graphic arts to programming. eSport athletes are NOT required to participate in the Game Design Major program, but is is one of the many majors available at Grand View University. Besides Game Design, Grand View offers a many degree paths, also we are a very reputable Nursing school.
Quick Questionnaire:
- Do you want to play LoL competitively at a high level in an extremely organized environment?
- Do you want to earn a scholarship for the game you love to play? 3._ Do you want to earn a valuable degree of your choosing from a distinguished University?_
If you, or someone you know answered yes to these 3 questions, please get in touch with me. I would love to talk with you more about the program and I am eager to bring a LoL team on board. I look forward to hearing from some prospective recruits! I'm also willing to talk with parents and encourage them to tag along in the process and join on the campus visit.
