Alberta Scholastic Esports League

What is the ASEL?

Following the success of the inaugural Alberta Esports Championship in May 2024, a subcommittee of educators from across the province was formed to establish the nature and structure of an interscholastic esports competition network.

The result - the Alberta Scholastic Esports League (ASEL) -  will emphasize the values of teamwork and sportsmanship amongst all competitors. The league offers students a blend of online competitive opportunities and regional, in-person play.

Through this dual-pronged approach, we will promote a competitive spirit for esports – one that fosters friendly rivalries amongst schools and regions – that will ultimately propel Alberta to the forefront of national competition.

FAQs

  • The ASEL is the first interscholastic esports league for junior high and high school students in Alberta. The league provides opportunities for competitive video gaming through online leagues, in-person events and more.

  • Alberta junior high and high schools can register students ages 10-18 for events. Students may be registered at an accredited Alberta learning institution and meet the age requirement to compete. Exceptions may be granted in special circumstances.

  • The majority of ASEL events take place online. Students and their teacher-coaches can participate in the competitions online using their own devices and network connections. In-person events are hosted once a semester in each of the six major Alberta school regions. These venues change from event to event and will be announced for each event when registration opens.
