Rocket League

Saturday, September 30 | 1400 ET

Navy Wounded Warrior is offering a new way for seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors and Coast Guardsmen to connect via its first online esports tournament on September 30 at 1400 ET with a 2v2 Tournament featuring Rocket League.

Navy Wounded Warrior Esports is a testament to the Navy’s commitment to providing relevant and innovative support to its service members and recognizing the unique challenges faced by the Navy Wounded Warrior community. This event will help wounded warriors stay engaged, build resilience and connect with their peers who share a passion for gaming and are also on healing, recovery and rehabilitation journeys.

This program is for active-duty Sailors and Coast Guardsmen currently enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior. Enrollees on the Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL status) will be placed on a waitlist after registering. Service members not currently enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior are not able to participate in in this tournament.
