This year, we’re excited to announce the first annual VGC High School Invitational! Taking place Friday, February 27th and Saturday, February 28, 2026 at the Pitman Center on the University of Idaho campus in Moscow,
High School teams will battle it out for a grand prize of $1000 dollars in scholarships or club funds. Schools can register multiple teams of three for Rocket League and teams of four for Smash Ultimate.
We will also be running a high school Smash Ultimate singles bracket. Stay tuned for schedule updates on this and the team events as we are adjusting the schedule based on entries.
The 2026 Invitational will be a great opportunity for students interested in esports, featuring a professional broadcast, live commentary, and a tournament structure similar to high level leagues.
