In 2019 the National Junior College Athletic Association formed the NJCAA Esports to better serve their existing community of member institutions who wanted a competitive association focused on their unique needs of their institutions and the groups they serve. The NJCAAE launched its first season of competition in the spring of 2019 with 13 founding member institutions. To date, NJCAA Esports serves over 9,000 students and has over 230 institutions either currently participating in activity, or preparing for future activities. 
 
With a focus on breaking down barriers for member colleges and their students, the NJCAAE is the only association capable of thoroughly meeting the needs of 2-year and community colleges. This is accomplished through the use of subcommittees, commissions, and member coordination efforts. The NJCAAE offers many program solutions through the association and our partners. These offerings range from program development, competition, media, broadcasting, gearing solutions, and much more! Now is the perfect time to start your institution's journey into esports. There is more than enough time to prepare your students for the upcoming seasons of competition through our offerings!
