Games are what we play, and community is what we create!

Welcome to Gnome Gamers

Where kids don’t just play games, they grow, compete, and belong.

Gnome Gamers is a youth esports community built for players ages 7–17 who want more than unstructured screen time. We believe gaming should be safe, coached, and purposeful, offering the same structure, accountability, and opportunity found in traditional youth sports.

We are proudly Gnome Gamers, a locally owned program serving our community.
At the same time, our competitive teams train and compete within the Valhallan × XP League ecosystem, giving our players access to the largest unified youth esports pathway in North America.

That means your child gets the best of both worlds:

A trusted local environment with national-level opportunities.

Every player is placed where they will grow the most, based on skill, mindset, and goals.

Gaming doesn’t have to mean toxicity or chaos.

At Gnome Gamers, every program is:

  • Coach-led and age-appropriate

  • Built around teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship

  • Supervised in a positive, respectful environment

We hold players accountable, just like traditional sports, while helping them build confidence both in and out of the game.

More Than Gaming

Yes, players improve at their games.

But they also develop skills that matter beyond esports:

  • Teamwork and communication

  • Confidence and leadership

  • Discipline, focus, and problem-solving

They make friends, learn responsibility, and experience what it means to be part of a real team.

  • Organized league play with clear advancement paths

  • Regional and national competitive opportunities

  • Exposure to esports-related career skills such as content creation, broadcasting, and event operations

All while staying rooted in their local Gnome Gamers community.

Testimonials

I feel that gnome gamers has allowed my kids to express their love of gaming without having to worry about just doing it from home. They get to be on a team or in a group and gain the skills of working together as well as mastering the mechanics of the games. It has been a wonderful experience for our family. They have made great friendships and created a very strong bond with the coaches. The atmosphere is so inviting and makes all the kids so comfortable.

Love it, you provide a good environment where my son feels welcome to be himself and enjoys playing Minecraft with other like minded kids.

Awesome place for my child to learn, grow and excel at what interests him most.
