The Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University was the first public university in the Czech Republic which established an esport department. Our mission is to integrate a movement into gaming and esports, with the aim of upgrading "gaming" to the level of traditional sports disciplines, where the standard is a system of coach education, youth support, organization of international and inter-university competitions, and established scientific methodologies for testing physical condition and power.
Our goal is to become, in the combination of physical activities with gaming, a leader in the national and worldwide arena.
The department is built on 4 pillars that interconnect and complement each other. The pillars are
EDUCATION
SCIENCE AND RESEARCH
INCLUSION
COMPETITION AND PUBLIC EVENTS
GSPORT is a combination of gaming and sport and is a brand new concept not only for the faculty, but also on a worldwide range. The aim of GSPORT is not to lure gamers away from their favourite games, but to open the door to a sports environment and motivate them to get moving. Thanks to GSPORT, players can compete not only in the online world, but also on sports fields.
We believe that GSPORT gives students the opportunity to stay healthy and fit, even when they are playing their favourite online games. FTVS together with its partner E4S Czech is the organizer of the International GSPORT League of Universities
Since its beginning, the Academic Department of Esports has been seen and heard a lot not only on social media, but also in the Czech national media.
