League of Legends is a co-operative five-a-side team game, in which students play against another team. Like traditional team sports like football, netball and rugby, League of Legends is an invasive game that ebbs and flows with the state of play.
The WSSL gives students a chance to represent their school, while developing skills such as teamwork, cooperation, and problem solving, all while having fun in a competitive environment.

The game developer Riot provides 'Learn with League' which is an educational initiative and framework to support young people in their digital journeys, and the caregivers who support them.
It comprises a set of teaching materials, workshops and educator training programs. Check out all the resources here: https://oce.learnwithleague.com/
Victory Up have also created resource package for schools to use, including Training for Victory resource manual (coming soon). This resource aims to engage and motivate students with a unique educational experience, providing exposure to the same opportunities available in organised team sport, built on three core values; Health & Wellbeing, Sportsmanship and Skills development.
Each team needs five computers to play, and a stable internet connection. Check out the Minimum specs to run League of Legends
Each student must have a registered League of Legends / Riot account.
