RECREATION
DEPARTMENT IS GETTING
INTO A NEW KIND OF
COMPETITION -- GAMING
AND E-SPORTS.
THE CITY IS SETTING UP
AN E-SPORTS DIVISION...
TO PROVIDE AN
ORGANIZED SETTING FOR
GAMERS TO COMPETE
AND SPEND TIME WITH
EACH OTHER.
ORGANIZERS SAY
THEY'RE INSPIRED BY
THE GROWTH IN
ELECTRONIC GAMING --
AS MANY COLLEGES ARE
NOW SETTING UP TEAMS
WITH SCHOLARSHIPS.
THIS KIND OF PROGRAM
IS ALSO USEFUL IN THE
PANDEMIC...
WHICH LIMITS MANY
TRADITIONAL ATHLETICS.
"This was a huge step, I feel
like bringing something new
to the community offering
something young men and
women will like."
CITY LEADERS ARE
SETTING UP
COMPETITIONS.
THEY'RE OFFERING AN
EIGHT-WEEK LEAGUE
SEASON OF "FORTNITE"
FOR SCHOOL-AGE
GAMERS...
WEDNESDAYS FROM TWO
TO SIX P-M.
INFORMATION IS
AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S
WEBSITE.
