Safety & Coaching

  • EKUZO is a youth esports coaching platform for students aged 10–18. We use competitive gaming as the medium to develop leadership, communication, resilience, and teamwork through structured coaching, real competition, and intentional practice.

  • All EKUZO coaches are top 1% collegiate esports athletes or former professional players. They are trained not just in gameplay, but in pedagogy, safety, and social-emotional growth.

  • All sessions are coach-led and recorded. Our Discord and online platforms are actively moderated. Coaches and staff enforce community guidelines, and every student signs our Code of Conduct. Parents can always contact us with concerns.

  • Yes. Coaches meet students where they are — from casual players to aspiring competitors — and ensure every team is inclusive and supportive.

  • A computer (PC or Mac) that can run League of Legends, a stable internet connection, and a headset with a microphone. The game is free to download and doesn’t require high-end hardware.

Programs & Scheduling

  • EKUZO offers three programs: EKUZOTEAMS (semester-based, 15 weeks of coached team play), EKUZO100 (a 4-week competitive bootcamp), and EKUZOCAMPS (1-week intensive sessions during summer and holiday breaks). Each is built on the same coaching system with a different format and commitment level.

  • EKUZO100 is a 4-week competitive bootcamp: $100, two sessions per week in small groups of five. It’s designed to give students a real taste of structured esports coaching — whether they’re brand new or looking to sharpen their game.

  • EKUZO100: Two evenings per week, after school. EKUZOTEAMS: 2–3 sessions per week during or after school. EKUZOCAMPS: Daily sessions during summer or holiday breaks. All sessions are approximately 90 minutes.

  • Students are grouped into small teams of roughly five, balanced by age and skill level, with a preference for local cohorts whenever possible. For EKUZOTEAMS, rosters are 10–12 players to support 5v5 match play.

  • Both tracks deliver the same EKUZO coaching system. The School track is run in partnership with a school, often during or after school hours with a proctor present. The Home track is for families who want to participate independently, with sessions scheduled in the evenings.

Outcomes & Benefits

  • Parents most often notice greater confidence and motivation, improved communication and teamwork, reduced social anxiety through belonging, and curiosity about STEAM projects and career pathways.

  • Motivated students engage more. Educators consistently report improved attendance and focus when students are involved in structured esports programs. Our coaching methodology is built on proven learning science, developing skills that carry directly into academics.

  • EKUZO builds both soft skills (leadership, resilience, communication) and exposure to pathways in esports, game design, broadcasting, and tech. Many universities now offer esports scholarships and programs.

Pricing

  • All EKUZO programs are standardized around roughly $20 per session of small-group, coach-led instruction. EKUZO100 is $100 for the full four-week program. EKUZOTEAMS and EKUZOCAMPS pricing varies by format — visit the program pages or contact us for current details.

  • The sessions are just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath them is the full system: elite coach training, moderated community spaces, curriculum design, competition infrastructure, guest speakers, and student-led projects.
