The Jackson County High School esports team primarily competes in three main games as part of their competitive program: Rocket League, League of Legends, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. These games were specifically chosen to align with the state-sanctioned high school esports competitions.

In Rocket League, teams of three players compete in soccer-style matches using rocket-powered cars. The Jackson County team practices this fast-paced game multiple times per week to improve their coordination and teamwork skills.

League of Legends forms another cornerstone of their competitive lineup. As a 5v5 multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, it requires strategic thinking and strong communication between team members. The team dedicates significant practice time to mastering different champions and developing team strategies.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rounds out their main competitive titles. This fighting game allows players to compete in both singles and doubles formats, representing the school in various tournaments throughout the season.

The team competes in these games through official high school esports leagues, including:

PlayVS
High School Esports League (HSEL)
National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) sanctioned events

While these three games form their core competitive focus, the team occasionally participates in other titles during special tournaments or exhibition matches. However, their primary practice and competition schedule revolves around Rocket League, League of Legends, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Team members typically specialize in one or two games, allowing them to develop deeper expertise and maintain focused practice schedules. This specialization helps the team remain competitive across all three titles throughout the academic year.

Training sessions are held in the school's dedicated esports facility, equipped with gaming PCs and consoles specifically configured for competitive play in these titles. The team practices after school hours, typically spending 2-3 hours per session on their respective games.
