Structured club sessions
Ready to run from day one — session guides, videos and a 60-minute plan every week.
Esports for Schools Across the UK
Structured esports for international and independent schools
From London to Edinburgh, DAIGON works with leading international and independent schools in the UK to bring structured esports into after-school programmes.
Local context
Why DAIGON for UK schools
- DAIGON's ISA, IAPS, and COBIS partnerships cover the three largest associations for UK independent and international schools — meaning most UK schools already have an exclusive competition pathway.
- IAPS (Independent Association of Prep Schools) represents over 600 prep schools across the UK — DAIGON's IAPS Esports Cup is designed specifically for prep-age students (ages 7–13).
- The UK has the largest concentration of COBIS-accredited international schools in the world — DAIGON runs the official COBIS Esports competition for member schools.
- After-school clubs are a highly competitive market in UK independent schools. Esports consistently attracts students who are disengaged from traditional sports.
