“Sport has the power to change the world, the power to inspire and the power to unite people in a way little else can – it is an instrument of peace.”

– Nelson Mandela

IMG Academies

Spread out over nearly 300 acres in sunny Florida, IMG Academies (IMGA) is the most advanced, state-of-the-art, multi-sport training and educational facility ever created for athletes. With two private academic schools on campus and students from over 46 states and 80 countries, IMGA is the largest and most successful school ever created for devoted athletes. Nowhere else in the world do aspiring and professional athletes in a variety of sports bond in one place during their season, off-season and pre-season to train within such a dynamic and motivating environment. IMGA delivers world-class sports training experiences to over 12,000 junior, collegiate, adult and professional athletes each year. In fact, IMGA can custom design a sports/recreation experience for every member of the family. 

In 1978, Nick Bollettieri pioneered the concept of a tennis boarding school that combined athletic training and academic education into one integrated curriculum. In 1987, IMG bought the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. Nick Bollettieri’s approach to teaching was so successful that by 1993 this comprehensive training approach was expanded to additional sports – golf, soccer, baseball and basketball.

Today, IMG Academies' Divisions include:

The Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy (NBTA)
