Students competing in the esports program at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pa., will receive access to training tutorials as part of a new partnership between the college and ProGuides, an esports training platform.
In February 2018, Lebanon Valley College became the 51st member of the National Association of Collegiate Esports. The private institution will now provide its esports athletes with access to ProGuides’ training content and video tutorials. LVC students will initially use the software for training in League of Legends, Hearthstone, and Counter Strike.
“This really goes beyond the traditional athletic training that any of us grew up with it,” said David Shapiro, esports director of operations at Lebanon Valley Cottage.
