More than a club.

Hamilton Esports has been LAUSD’s flagship competitive gaming program since 2022.
We play to win, and have a fun time doing it!

Competitive Gaming
is a pathway.

We treat esports the way LAUSD treats varsity sports: with structure, coaching, and accountability. Our players go through tryouts, practice together and follow a competition schedule.

Off the screen, members learn team management, technical expertise and other career-relevant skills acquired through their experience in the lab.

The result: students who compete at the highest amateur level, and graduate ready for any 4-year program — STEM, media, business, anywhere.

Coach Guama.

“As Hamilton alum, we never had a program like this.” Came back as staff and built one — brick by brick! The renovated lab, the sponsorships, the roster, the trophies and The Family!

This is the type of job that doesn’t feel like one.

You don’t stop playing because you grew up,
You grew up because you stopped playing!

How tryouts work?

Most competitive games already track player ranks in-game and on sites like Tracker Network — so we don’t run traditional tryouts.
If you above our team’s cutoff, you’re signed. Just be good at the game, and get good grades!
