More than a game

East Coast Academy was built on a simple belief – sports is just the beginning.

What happens on the court, track, or field goes far beyond training sessions. It’s about discipline, confidence, mindset, and growth. At ECA, young athletes aren’t just learning how to play, they’re learning how to lead, how to think, and how to navigate themselves through every area of life.

HEY COACH KALA!

Behind East Coast Academy is a vision driven by passion, purpose, and experience.

Glen Guiste “Coach Kala” founded ECA with the goal of creating a space where young people can develop through sport while being guided, mentored, and challenged to reach their full potential.

With more than 25 years of experience in basketball, his journey in the game has shaped not only his knowledge of basketball, but also his commitment to helping young athletes grow in confidence, character, and mindset.

You think basketball is where it ends? Think again!
Coach Kala might just give you a match in football too!

Through ECA, Coach Kala is creating more than a training environment, he is building a space where young people can be guided, challenged, and inspired both on and off any court.
