First off, thank you so much for offering up this AMA!
When I was a student at my high school 3 years ago, I started a League of Legends focused eSports club for everyone to enjoy. We found a lot of popularity in the first few months, and before we knew it, we had two teams ( A JV and Varsity ) good to go. We participated in a small local tournament (Chicago Suburbs) and finished second. Due to our charisma and effort on the rift, our coaching staff (including myself) had the opportunity to be interviewed and featured on an ESPN segment following High School eSports during the first ever Robert Morris University invitational.
Now graduated, I was recently contacted to come work for my school District (just a few months after leaving, I may add) to work as a TA during school and an eSports instructor after school. Our first club meeting is in two weeks!
My question: Now that I'm on the other side of the desk and I don't really have the day-to-day interactions with students with common interests, how do you suppose I recruit new faces? I'm very fortunate to have the administration on my side and they're willing to pull almost any strings they can to make us successful.
