The IDA Experience
Sample Schedule
COMPETE IN MORE THAN 50 GAMES
IDA players will have the opportunity to tryout/play with local clubs in the area. Over 18 years old players selected will train and compete in the youth leagues, alongside their training at the international development academy.
IDA will have a separate competitive schedule, made of weekly matches against different types of rivals depending on the period of the season, from professional La Liga academies to semi-professional academies and top teams from the area.
INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENTS
IDA teams will compete in prestigious tournaments such as the MIC Tournament in April in Barcelona. This event has become a compulsory event for football’s greatest institutions. Many of the largest clubs and national teams have joined in the tournament and featured their prominent young players who became big football stars not long afterward.
The Academics
Designed FOR student-athletes looking for an accredited school that supports their unique schedule, creates a pathway towards their personal, professional, and athletic goals, and leverages the latest technology for an on-the-go environment.
“Designed BY athletes and educators, we understand your schedule, your priorities, your unique goals, and your struggles facing academics. We offer solutions, not more road-blocks. We have created a community, a flexible school schedule, and a support system unlike any other.” - US Performance Academy
