IPRA Esports League


IPRA Esports League


The Illinois Parks and Recreation Association has joined forces with GGLeagues, an online esports gaming company, to bring esports education and competition to the state of Illinois. GGLeagues and the IPRA will work together to connect the community of games across the state of Illinois and provide a wide range of esports activities for the residents.

The partnership creates an easy and unified way for Illinois Recreation and Park Association members to join the partnership and start their own esports programs. This not only allows them to create esports programming for their communities, but allows the whole state to bring that together in a cohesive statewide competition!
