Why Families Trust ELA
More than a gaming lounge — we’re a safe, structured community where kids grow skills, friendships, and confidence.
ELA was founded by Mike Newton, an experienced eSports coach with national recognition, including leading the Golden State Warriors’ affiliate to the 2023 NBA 2KL Championship — the first Black head coach to win a 5v5 championship in the league. Mike’s experience in coaching young players at the highest level shapes everything we do at Ethlete Lab Academy: structure, teamwork, mentorship, and opportunity.
Parents choose ELA because it’s a place where kids can play and learn at the same time — without worrying about unsafe online environments or wasted hours in front of a screen.
Safe & Supervised
Every session is monitored by experienced staff who care.
Skill-Building
From coding to game design, kids gain real-world knowledge.
Social Connection
Kids meet peers who share their passion for gaming.
