Enrichment · Passion Projects

Play to win.
Play like a teammate.

School esports teams carry the same expectations as any team, plus a few of their own: what goes in chat, what stays out of a profile, how accounts are protected and when a game’s rating is too old for a player. Record each player by gamer tag, mark the expectations met and log incidents as they happen.

The worked example is made up: a 14-year-old with two chat incidents and an open profile, and a senior captain who skips breaks. Saved on this device only; players are listed by gamer tag.

What you finish with
A record per player: gamer tag, age, game and ESRB rating, ten expectations met or not yet, and an incident log with dates and actions. Counts expectations met and incidents; flags a game rated above the player’s age, accounts under 13, two-factor sign-in, public profiles, repeat incidents and answering harassment.
Who it is for
Esports coaches and club sponsors, players and families.
Format
Browser checklist with a saved record per player. Prints one player’s checklist, the whole team in a table or a blank sheet; downloads a spreadsheet (.csv); exports and imports a file.

Ratings describe content, not difficulty. Online play and chat are not rated: other players’ words are the coach’s and the family’s to manage.

Harassment

Teach one response: mute, take a screenshot, tell the coach. Coaches report to the platform and the league; answering back in chat usually makes things worse and can cost the team a match.

Health

Long sessions strain eyes, wrists and sleep. Build stand-up breaks into practice, keep screens off before bed, and treat a player’s grades and sleep as part of the team’s plan.
