High schoolers won’t have to exercise to get a varsity letter, now that Virginia is adding electronic sports, better known as esports, as a school competition.
The Virginia High School League (VHSL) has approved a one-year pilot program for esports as a competitive activity.

In League of Legends and SMITE, teams consist of five members. In Rocket League, teams include only three members.
