Greetings,
My name is Cole, I am the Head Coach of Grand View University's eSports team. Grand View is located in the midwest, specifically, 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 within the tech and financial sector.
About Grand View University: The key statistic on GVU is that a whopping 85% of graduates end up working and living in the Des Moines or surrounding area. Grand View is recongized locally and nationally as an incredibly competitive school in a variety of varsity NAIA Sports. For example:
Wrestling - 6 Straight National Titles with 12 All Americans in 2017 Football - NAIA National Champions 2013 Golf - 2017 National Champions Mens VBall - Back To Back Runner Up National Champions
Etc…
About GV eSports: We are a newly formed, varsity collegiate sport under the NAC eSports governing body and the ultimately the NAIA. Grand View recognizes eSports as varsity 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 request.
Since we are newly formed(March 8, 2017), we have an open roster and recruiting is in full force.
Primarily we are focusing on graduating high school seniors(2017) LoL players, but are also encouraging transfers and international students of all ages and backgrounds who have a strive to play LoL at a competitive level and earn an education while doing it.
Open Roles: Varsity: 5 open slots JV: 7 open slots
All Varsity student athletes will be eligible for scholarships, athletic and academic(if applicable) . Junior Varsity student athletes will not be eligible for varsity level athletic scholarships, but Grand View Prides itself on awarding a high amount of academic scholarships, and private grants.
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/phone discussion 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.
Questionnaire:

If you, or someone you know answered yes to any of these 4 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 competitive LoL team on board. I look forward to hearing from some prospective recruits!
