Key Takeaways:

  • Valhallan Esports Training uses esports to teach kids real-world life skills: digital citizenship, teamwork, sportsmanship and confidence.
  • Since it opened, Valhallan has counted on Spectrum Business for a connection strong enough to keep kids engaged, competitive, and focused on learning and growth.
  • Spectrum Business Internet 1 Gig provides the fast, reliable connectivity necessary for competitive gaming because even the slightest bit of lag can ruin the experience.

A computer monitor glows, spreading light over a young gamer’s face. He shifts in his chair, taps his keyboard and sends his character racing across the screen. Behind him, friends lean in, pump their fists and shout, “Yes. Just like that. Let’s go.”

Spirited but supportive moments like this depend on connection – both human and digital. When Dani Kelsey’s son fell in love with gaming, she wanted a way to encourage his competitive spirit while helping him become a good online citizen. That became the foundation of Valhallan Esports Training in Altamonte Springs, Florida, where kids can play their favorite games while learning about community, confidence and sportsmanship.

Walk into Valhallan Esports Training, and you'll find rows of PCs and consoles, all buzzing with the same energy kids once reserved for the arcade. Every screen, every controller, every match depends on one thing: a strong internet connection. That connection, supplied by Spectrum Business Internet 1 Gig, is a centerpiece of Valhallan that makes sure Dani's vision comes to life and players have the experience they're expecting.

“I like Spectrum because there’s no lag to it,” said Kiran, one of Valhallan’s young gamers. “When you have better internet speed, that loading time can travel faster and make it a better experience.”

For Kiran and his friends, lag, a delay that can interrupt gameplay, is the ultimate opponent. But it doesn’t stand a chance against connectivity from Spectrum Business, provider of the most reliable business internet in the nation*.

“I’ve had Spectrum Business since we’ve been open, and it’s been incredible,” said Dani. “It’s the backbone of our ability to connect.”

That means the kids in Valhallan’s arena stay engaged, have fun and learn some important life lessons. And it’s all possible with Spectrum.
