Peoria offers youth sports and e-gaming
Posted
The city of Peoria is offering online gaming tournaments and several team sports leagues August through November.
Youth flag football, machine pitch baseball, soccer, t-ball and volleyball leagues are now open for registration.
To ensure kids, parents and coaches stay healthy and safe, there are reduced roster sizes and modified game rules. Only one spectator will be allowed per participant for games and practices and staff members and coaches must wear face masks at all games and practices.
In addition, Peoria has partnered with the city of Goodyear to offer e-gaming. The next two e-gaming events will be on Aug. 12 from 5 to 8 p.m. for Fortnite and Aug. 19 from 3 to 6 p.m. for Roblox.
No registration is required, but gamers need to watch the city’s YouTube stream (www.youtube.com/channel/UCW5lrMKNgVn2Q_gRo2ye9Lw) to get private room codes. Also, Roblox requires gamers to "friend" the city to gain access to the private servers.
All online tournaments are moderated by adults and are family friendly.
