HOW DO I START A TAEL TEAM AT MY SCHOOL?
As the official league for academic esports in Tennessee, all teams must register HERE. It’s FREE to join TAEL, and registration provides access to exclusive league resources, events, and support for students and educators across the state.
All High School and Middle School teams must register with both TAEL and PlayVS, our official competition platform starting Fall 2025.
Elementary School teams only need to register with TAEL to participate in age-appropriate events and programming.
Students: Registration and activation must be completed by a school advisor. If you’re interested in bringing esports to your school, speak with a teacher, principal, or administrator and have them complete the registration on your behalf.
Community Organizations: The Tennessee Academic Esports League supports more than just schools—we welcome libraries, community centers, after-school programs, and more! If you're a community organization looking to use esports as an educational tool, we’d love to connect and get you into the game.
