Falls City Elks Lodge #963 and Falls City Tiger Booster Club Supports FCT ESports Program
Thank you to the Falls City Elks Lodge #963 and to the Falls City Tiger Booster Club for their generous donations of $488 each to the FCT ESports Program.
After the Booster Club graciously donated to help the program purchase one of five new mini PCs and a monitor last week, Racy Hullman, a member of the Booster Club and Elks Lodge, kindly reached out to the Elks Lodge for the esports program when she heard the program's goal was to add five mini PC setups to help support their growing program and provide more opportunities for student-athletes to access additional practice and competition times to be able to remain at a competitive level across the state of Nebraska in the Nebraska Schools ESports Association (NSESA), which has over 130 schools now that are broken into four divisions based on their enrollment; Falls City is a Division 3 school.
From these two donations, Coach Huppert and Coach Syslo will be able to purchase two of the five setups they are working on getting for the program. The program is very grateful for the help from both organizations.
All the equipment the esports program uses has been purchased through grants and help from local organizations willing to support the program over the last six years. If you are interested in helping the program reach it's goal of five, please reach out to Coach Kory Huppert at khuppert@fallscityps.org.
The FCT ESports Program on average has around thirty-five student-athletes from Grades 7-12 competing throughout the school year in two 3-4 month long seasons, and has another 15-20 sixth graders for their after school club on Wednesdays to provide those students with an additional opportunity at activities to help motivate them to be their best academically. All students have to meet eligibility requirements for the middle and high schools in order to compete.
