🌟 Shining a Spotlight on Women in Esports for #WomensHistoryMonth 🌟

Meet Coach April Coats—the founder and coach of the esports program at Northside High School (Fort Smith, AR). Her scholastic esports journey started when years back she was guiding a group of her students through a research project on how to bring esports to the school. Shortly after, the Arkansas High School Activities Association (AAA) announced its partnership with #PlayVS. Even though April wasn’t a gamer, she had an incredible heart to support her students as they showed immense passion for gaming. She soon then became their advocate and eventually the coach of the program.

Despite the difficult hurdles and long days, April has been coaching a successful program for 5 years and shares memorable moments of winning, community, and student passion.

Join us in celebrating the impact April is having in #Esports for all! #WomenInEsports #highschoolsports
