ESPORT ARENA FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
Gaming is more than just games. For many children and young people, it is a social meeting place, an arena for mastery, cooperation and joy. Through Esport Arena, we want to make e-sports a safe, positive and stimulating part of growing up - in line with other child and youth sports in Norway.
Research shows that gaming can improve children's teamwork, concentration and problem-solving skills - but also that the environment must be safe and inclusive to achieve these effects. That's why Esport Arena's offering is based on the Norwegian Sports Confederation's guidelines for children's sports and children's rights, combined with national recommendations for children and digital culture.
Our goal
To create a nationally safe and inclusive gaming environment where children and young people can experience mastery, friendship and social development - regardless of background, skill level or finances.
Kristoffer "Wuups"
Child and youth manager
Hello, and welcome to Esport Arena!
Hi! My name is Kristoffer, and I'm responsible for children and youth here at Esport Arena.
I've chosen this role because I'm passionate about creating a safe, inclusive and inspiring environment where children and young people can develop through gaming and digital interaction.
For me, esports is about more than just competition - it's about community, mastery and collaboration. I want everyone who joins us to feel seen, respected and motivated to achieve their own goals - whether that's improving their game, building team spirit or simply having fun with friends.
Esport offers fantastic opportunities for learning, communication and self-development, and I want to be a safe support for those who need guidance along the way.
Feel free to get in touch with me on Discord, SnapChat or email.
