“International Development Academy offers two world-class educational and athletic experiences.
“The IDA Valencia Academy, based in downtown Valencia, and the IDA UK Academy, based in Reading UK, are Elite Boys Soccer Programs designed for international student-athletes aged between 15 and 22 who are committed to developing both on the field and in the classroom.
“Our IDA Italy Academy, in Rome, is geared towards female players aged 18-24 that want to play at very high level, while continuing their studies with the University of Rome.
“Our new IDA Boston Academy in Boston, Massachusetts, is aimed at international student-athletes grade 7-12, who want to enter the elitist US private school / college pathway, without losing eyes on their soccer development. The program offers a pathway also for rugby!
