What is the Contender Academy?

In 2021, we designed something that had never been created before in this country: Contender Academy. We know that in traditional sports, we have people who casually play those sports. There then is a segment that will play high school or college sports. Then there is a group of kids or youth who want to excel deeper in the sport outside of casually playing. So they will join a soccer club here in Springfield. We’ve got Sporting Springfield as a soccer club. Or if you play baseball, there are the Midwest MAVs, right? We take that same concept and apply it to esports. We have two seasons, fall and spring, lasting 10 to 12 weeks. Register your kids today!
