About Program
At IDA we develop different programs that add value to all our student-athletes. One of the most popular programs is the IDA Gap Year Program where students from all over the world embark on a new sports adventure. Have you ever imagined developing yourself in Europe while competing against local clubs?
For those who don't know, a gap year is a decision made by a student-athlete where they choose to take a year between their senior year of high school and their freshman year of college. It is a very personal decision, but it generally revolves around the desire to achieve two things – become a better person and a better player in their respective sport. Taking a gap year to play soccer away from home is likely to see a much higher level of maturation as it will involve a young player being placed outside of their comfort zone and is excellent preparation for what college life looks like.
Where can you take these Gap Years with IDA? In Spain, the UK, the US, and Italy. Are you ready?
