Nerd Street Gamers announced a partnership with Special Olympics Colorado and Special Olympics Texas which will focus on providing the organization’s athletes with access to esports while simultaneously supporting the development of “competitive experiences.” The deal will give participants a range of tools and resources such as coaching programming and tournaments.
“At Nerd Street we want to help nurture the future of esports as a welcoming environment for all, and our partnership with Special Olympics Colorado and Special Olympics Texas is a testament to this commitment,” said John Fazio, CEO of Nerd Street Gamers. “Over the years, we have seen the positive impact esports can have on individuals with disabilities and hope to both provide a positive, fun experience for participants while demonstrating the opportunities that lie within the industry for long-term success.”
Nerd Street Gamers also announced that it will provide an ADA-compliant space within its Localhost facilities for Special Olympics Colorado and Texas. This will allow both organizations to conduct training sessions and run league practices.
Nerd Street had held digital coaching programs in August to equip staff for the implementation of an esports curriculum that offered tools that looked to communicate and connect with players, alongside receiving recommended activities for future sessions. The coaches have also been provided with a video-on-demand resource to help players learn. The VOD is said to provide an “alternative, effective educational tool” that will help players learn games that are better taught visually instead of through audio.
