The ACTC Esports program, Delta Squad, is a varsity Esports program available to Anderson District 1 and Anderson District 2 high school students. We are partnered with the High School Esports League (HSEL) with matchmaking and competitions managed by Generation Esports. An organization that has helped to build esports into a varsity sport across the nation, HSEL is the largest high school esports league in the US. They are accredited by STEM.org and they help support students with “educational opportunities and scholarships, career opportunities, and life skills” through their program. HSEL and Generation Esports offer many games that the students can choose from, including Apex Legends, Valorant, Halo, CS2, Minecraft, R6 Siege, Marvel Rivals, and Rocket League to name a few. 

Teams range in size, depending on the game, from one to six players. Prospective students must have a 2.5 GPA, be in good academic standing in their current classes, and be of sound moral character in order to qualify. Tryouts are held twice a year, once for the Fall Majors and once for the Spring Majors. Teams practice and play official matches in the esports lab at ACTC every week. 

The coaches for Delta Squad are Nathan Arnold, Bryan Bacher and Seth Pruitt.
