Never Miss A Moment

"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."

Marcos Sotarello - IDA Class of 2021/2022

"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"

Jean Janecki - IDA Parent of Marcos Sotarello

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.”

Tyler Nyquist - IDA Valencia Class of 2021/2022
