About Idaho Esports
We're building the future of competitive gaming in Idaho, one tournament at a time.
Our Mission
To provide accessible, fair, and competitive esports opportunities for all Idaho students while fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal growth through gaming.
Our Core Values
Integrity
Fair play, transparent operations, and honest communication are the foundation of everything we do.
Inclusivity
Esports is for everyone. We create welcoming spaces where all students can compete regardless of skill level or background.
Growth
We're committed to continuous improvement, both in our organization and in helping students develop as competitors and individuals.
Our Story
Idaho Esports Association was founded by passionate educators and gamers who saw the incredible potential of competitive gaming to engage students, teach valuable life skills, and create community connections across our state.
What started as informal tournaments between a handful of schools has grown into a statewide organization supporting dozens of schools and hundreds of student athletes. We've watched students who were shy or disengaged find their voice and their community through esports.
As a non-profit organization, every dollar we receive goes directly back into supporting our tournaments, providing resources for schools, and growing the Idaho esports community. We're grateful for the support of our sponsors, volunteers, and most importantly, the students and educators who make this all possible.
