"In the Academy, they develop you as a person in real life, not only as a player. IDA mentally prepares you. Being away from home has already made me more independent and mature as a person."

"Ever since he was little, this has been his dream, to be able to play in Europe and become a professional. He's finding those paths"

Player Testimonials
“The intensity of the training and schedule, the real games, the video footage for my highlight film – to name just a few. The whole experience was so different to what we are used to with summer camps and ID camps. Most camps these days are the same thing – show up, do some training, play some practice games with the same players. You can’t really compare the two. If you want the real deal, IDA is your best bet.”
