FITGMR, Inc. and the Amateur Esports Association have partnered to advance youth esports programs for schools, clubs and organizations in the US and Canada.

WHITEFIELD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, UNITED STATES, February 23, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FITGMR, Inc., the premier esports performance and player development organization, and the Amateur Esports Association (AEA), North America’s leading non-profit youth esports league, have formed a partnership to advance youth esports through AEA’s organized programs that make best practices for youth esports accessible to schools, clubs, and organizations across the US and Canada. AEA members will have access to FITGMR programs including bootcamps, leagues, workshops, and the FITGMR App and Team Dashboard. In addition, players who would like to compete in the AEA but are not within proximity of a partnered club will be able to participate in the league by joining a FITGMR team.

“The esports industry is no small space, and so, while it doesn't surprise me, it always makes me happy to connect with people who are, in one way or another, working on the exact thing we are working towards. At the end of the day the AEA is all about legitimizing the practices and perception of the youth esports space, and FitGMR is one of the organizations that is making that happen every single day. There really is no "sell" regarding players mental and physical health - everyone knows that it should be a top priority. FitGMR is doing something about it, and positively improving the esports experience for all types of players. I am incredibly joyful for the Amateur Esports Association to begin our collaboration with FitGMR as it will open up doorways to doing so much good and being truly greater than the sum of our parts,” stated Wyatt Pursley, CEO of the Amateur Esports Association.

Kristin Anderson, FITGMR CEO stated, "FITGMR believes in everything the Amateur Esports Association represents: Safety for our young athletes, citizenship, player development, healthy competition and rewarding gameplay. The service AEA provides its clubs and communities is very inspiring and I am excited to see how we can work together to further develop the landscape."
