COMBAT TESTED GAMING LEAGUES
The VFW, America’s largest organization of combat veterans has teamed up with KC Crew to offer our nation’s veterans a seamless and innovative way to connect – Combat Tested Gaming leagues!
Gaming and the connectivity it brings has proven to enhance veterans’ mental well-being through social engagement and skill development in a supportive and inclusive environment. Through these leagues, we’re calling on all service members and veterans to join in on the gaming action, build camaraderie and have fun doing it.
here's how it works:
step 1:
Pick Your
game
We offer Rocket League * Valorant in multiple skill levels. Choose the game and skill level that is right for you!
register
step 2:
Once you decide on your game and skill level, click on the link to join the team. Your spot isn’t confirmed on the team until you complete registration.
keep an eye out for an email
step 3:
You may be wondering what happens if your team doesn’t fill. That can happen, but that doesn’t mean you don’t get to play! If your team does not fill within one week of the league, we will reach out to try to move you to another team.
GET READY
TO PLAY!
step 4:
Once the team you joined is full, we will email all players on the team to connect you and as for a team captain. Once a captain is set, we pass the team over to them! They will be your point of contact for the season.

If you have a specific preference, please fill out this form.
To report rule violations, toxic behavior, or match disputes, please notify our league director at events@kccrew.com Keep in mind that this does not guarantee the score being changed as each report will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
You can find all rules for each e-sport on their specific league page when you sign in here.
We also have leagues for you! Our recommendation is to download each game and try it out. All league games are free to download and play. Once you do that, choose whichever game you like better and join one of the social/rec teams in that league.
