Our Teams & Players
Team London Futures
The London Futures Esports 4 Change team uses the esports programme to engage around 10 young people aged 18 – 25 with a learning disability through gaming, mentoring and career development through esports. The young people take part in weekly esports sessions where they follow a monthly themed game with a competition taking place in the last week of each month. The programme supports our young people to openly communicate in a more relaxed environment, promote teamwork, encourage one another, come up with tactical plans within each game and to have in game discussions.
This month, the themed game is Virtual Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown! Young people have been battling against each other in 1 on 1 martial arts combat, whereby each fight can be viewed by other members of the group. They are currently within their training phase, learning the ropes through peer to peer support and light competition in preparation for the finale tournament at the end of the month to see who will be crowed our Virtual Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown Champion!
