SJSharks Gaming is proud to partner with the Network of Academic and Scholastic Esports Federations through the NASEF Mario Kart Time Trials Competition! Over 1000 youth across the world will race and record leaderboard times to win five prize packs from the San Jose Sharks. When students participate in esports programs, they foster a sense of belonging, school pride and are more likely to explore new learning and career opportunities.

“We’re so excited to engage with the next generation of gamers through the NASEF Mario Kart Time Trials Competition presented by SJSharks Gaming. NASEF is known for helping young gamers build community and to explore esports as a career pathway. Esports remains a core component of the SJSharks Gaming vision, and we believe this partnership allows us to expand our presence in new esports titles while growing our brand alongside the next generation of gamers.” says Aaron Fesh, Gaming & Esports Lead.

“NASEF is thrilled to partner with SJSharks Gaming to help expand the reach of this worldwide esports competition. This collaboration will connect the SJSharks Gaming fan base with other gamers around the world. We’re thrilled to blend the worlds of conventional sports fandom with esports, and through this partnership we’ll reach the SJSharks Gaming and San Jose Sharks fanbases with engaging video game competitions.” says James Wood, Scholastic Programs Administrator of NASEF.
