IDA: Valencia

Grow & Develop Your Game in the Heart of Spain

Why would I play in Valencia vs. staying in the USA? Why would I pay for this when I can go straight to college? I have received messages from other academies that look similar to yours. What’s the difference and why would I choose IDA? Can I study whilst playing at your academy or further my education? If I don’t make it pro in Europe, will I have wasted a year?
