Before I write this review, I want to put this in perspective, my son was at this academy for two…read moreyears. He was on the top team of 2013 group what they called PRE-MLS-1. My review is therefore very comprehensive and fair which can be a good references for families want to join this academy. Ideasports academy is a stranged academy. Good aspect: Ideasports SA contracted with Disney to rent their facility. This facility is amazing and well taken care of. Soccer level for the top teams is fairly competitive in Florida areas. The number of Coach for the top teams (Pre-MLS) is acceptable. Bad aspect: The communication and management: is extremely terrible. The contract is costly and not clear, the league and tournament fees are not dependent on number of players in the team. Disney filed very strict contract in which you are responsible for many terms. Once you signed the contract, they locked you up. They do not release your kids to play for other teams if you do not pay up front full year tuition fee specifically with the leagues managed by Gotsport system. You must be very careful when you decided to sign the contract with them. Do not believe in the tryout as the actual team may be different from the ones your kids tried it out. In particular, you must be careful when your kids younger than 12 years old, in particular at 11 year old. The reason is from the fact that only one top team called pre-MLS-1 can participate in Florida Academy League which is the top and well organized league in Florida for this age. Team 2 in the pre-MLS program do not have a similar competitive level league. Many parents were disappointed and felt unfair for their kids with this management style. Miserably, they do not communicate with parents who are paying the service for their kids. Your kids maybe happy if you are in the top team or favored by the Coach. Coaches are favoring the kids who were staying there long, probably when this academy was established. It can be understandable as these families help academy to run the business. However, when soccer level and discipline are not the most important criteria for defining the team that may heart your feeling about the unfairness. Also, many parents sending the kids to soccer with the hope they can learn more than soccer (discipline, friendship, health, adaptation, etc.), you may not be happy with what you see in the practice everyday. Personally attack kid: I took my son out of this academy due to multiple times of attacking my kid every time I expressed my concern or suggestion to make this academy better. This is nonacceptable in particular in US. Lastly, the tuition fee is different case by case. Some kids (like us) pay double than other kids even in the same program. Therefore, you should be careful to negotiate to reduce cost before signing the contract. I will continue updating... Overall, this academy is not for every family. This is very strange and biased academy. Also, no guarantee that your kids will become professional or college players after the training courses. Trust is the most important and standard for the kid development. But you will not find the trust at this academy. In particular, you must be careful with the director coach if you do not want to get tricked like me. From perspective of parents who love soccer and kids. Thank you,

This park includes a visitor's center, multiple hiking trails, and a cute garden area with a gopher tortoise and salcutta tortoise living their best lives. Make sure to check out the Osprey Overlook as there is a boardwalk that overlooks a large lake with plenty of opportunity to see wildlife including otters, gators, and turtles. Honestly, I feel like this is the one park in Orlando where you can actually go hiking. All of the trails here are on mossy/swampy forest floor with no paved walkways. This is good to keep in mind if you are trying to rollerblade or bike ride as there are multiple tree roots on the trails, so probably best to leave these items at home and witch to trail shoes. This also means that some of the trails may be washed out when you visit, especially if going in the summer months. Actually, I would recommend skipping a visit if it has rained less than 24 hours before going as you will not be able to see as much as you would like. Overall, there is easy parking, great hiking, and excellent photo opportunities. Worth a trip if you are in the Orlando area!
