We started with the players
Young players wanted to go pro and had no structured way to get better, just hours of play and hope. So we coached them directly, rank by rank, and learned what actually moves someone forward.
About Valor
We brought the structure of sport to the games students already play.
Valor started with players chasing a pro career and no real way to get there. What we built for them turned out to be exactly what school esports clubs were missing: a coach, a season, and a way to see yourself improve.

HOW WE GOT HERE
It started with players, not schools
Three steps, and the middle one changed the company.

Then we saw what schools already had
Schools had the clubs, the students and the enthusiasm. What was missing wasn't passion. It was the thing every one of us got from traditional sport: a coach, a season, and a path from beginner to good.
#3
So we rebuilt it for the classroom
We turned that coaching into a curriculum a teacher can run without playing the game, then went and stood in the rooms. Desert Springs, Compton Unified and Rialto, March 2024.

Three people you can actually name
Between them they lived both halves of the problem: chasing a pro career, and coaching a sport properly.
Sam Ward
Head of Sales
Looks after the schools we work with. Coached tennis before esports, which is where a lot of how Valor runs a season comes from.
Nick Schlobohm
Head of Content
Turns what our coaches know into lessons students will actually sit through. A musician, which is why the content is made, not just written.
Loukmane Issa
Head of Technology
Builds the platform. Spent years trying to go pro at Counter-Strike 1.6 with none of the structure Valor now gives students.
