Small in stature with a shy demeanor, he fits the stereotype of what you expect from a kid known for playing “Rocket League” up to eight hours a day — a statistic he was embarrassed to share.
CIF data show that 40 schools and 431 players competed in esports in the fall of 2019, compared with 215 schools and 2,789 players in the spring of 2022. “Now we are seeing the mental health benefits that esports is providing for those at-risk cohorts of kids. These are the kids that as educators we are always talking about in staff meetings, the underrepresented kids who aren’t playing soccer or basketball or band or theater. How do we create a community for them? And video games have been around forever, staring us in the face.”
Genevieve Caballero was born in 1982, so she was raised with video game systems such as Nintendo, Super Nintendo and GameBoy. But when it came to her son, Reuben Estrada, she couldn’t help but wonder whether it was too much. He found “Rocket League” when he was about 12, watching some professionals play on YouTube, and soon bought the game to try it out. After a few months, he ditched his favorite game, “Call of Duty,” for “Rocket League.”When the pandemic hit near the end of his freshman year, it didn’t change his life too much. He was home schooled and holed up playing “Rocket League” most of the time anyway.Everything changed down the road at Quartz Hill, though.
