𝗜𝗧'𝗦 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟. 💪🎮🏆
Our Smash Bros. Bootcamp is taking place from August 19-23, from 12pm to 5pm, every day that week! Got kids looking to play in the upcoming Smash Crash tournament? Got teenagers convinced they're the best Smash player on their block? 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠.

Join other kids and teens ages 9-17 (4th-12th grade) and spend some time getting focused, targeted and individualized training to help sharpen the finer details of your playstyle. This week's program is a dedicated bootcamp environment designed to get kids ready for 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, so students should be prepared to do some real work against peers that *will* be playing to win!

Students are encouraged to bring their own Nintendo Switch systems, dock, power adapter and favorite controllers, along with a copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. There will be stations and controllers available, but in limited supply. They're also encouraged to eat beforehand, and also to bring a resealable water bottle plus a snack or two, as the brain needs fuel for making good decisions, particularly at high speeds over long stretches of time.

If this sounds like something your kid would be excited for, 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆 in calling, texting, or sending us an email. This is the last blast before the school year begins. Slots are limited to a total of 20, and they will be filling up 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁.

Happy Memorial Day weekend, Essex Junction! 🇺🇸 🙏 🪖

Scheduling changes afoot!

Due to a myriad of changing conditions, we will unfortunately no longer be hosting Open Gym Fridays for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!

We have some brand new gear. Well, old gear. Brand new old gear. Whatever, you get it.

We now have a modified CRT monitor running straight RGB connection via SCART. This means that older games can run on native hardware into a true lagless display, and if you know anything about arcade-based fighting games, there’s truly no substitute for playing them this way.

Our head sensei is about to record on VPR.
