Have you ever dreamed you could train like the best? At IMG Academy, campers get to experience this dream every day. Our camps offer a unique opportunity to train alongside world-class coaches, develop skills, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Let’s take a look at what a typical day at an IMG Academy Sport camp, giving you a glimpse into the world of our aspiring young athletes.
6:00-8:00 AM: Wake Up and Shine
The Florida sun streams through the blinds, waking you up for another awesome day at IMG Academy camp. You're buzzing with excitement for the day's training and hanging out with your new crew.
After getting ready, you head to the dining hall with your friends, where a breakfast spread fit for a champion athlete awaits. Here you’ll be able to fuel your performance by loading up on all the good stuff you need to crush your goals on the field, court, or course.
8:00-9:00 AM: Daily Prep
Back in your dorm room, you quickly change into your training gear, as you begin amping up for the day ahead. You double-knot your cleats, secure your helmet strap, or make sure your racket is strung to perfection. The sounds of your fellow campers prepping their gear echo through the halls.
Before you head out, take a few minutes to center yourself. Maybe you listen to your favorite pump-up playlist, visualize yourself nailing that game-winning shot, or jot down some goals for the day in your training journal. You know that mental preparation is just as important as physical readiness, and you're determined to bring your A-game to every practice.
With your mind and body in sync, you sling your bag over your shoulder and head out to meet your group. The sun feels warm on your skin as you walk across campus, a sense of anticipation building with each step. You can't wait to see what challenges and victories the day holds. Today is another chance to push your limits, learn from the best, and grow as an athlete and a person. Let's go!
9:00-10:30 AM: Sport Training 1
AThe first official training session of the day is all about sharpening those athletic skills. Campers are split into smaller groups, ensuring you're training alongside athletes who are at a similar level and share your passion for the sport. Each group is led by a seasoned coach, a true expert in their field, who is dedicated to helping you reach your full potential.
For baseball campers, the morning might kick off with an intensive hitting session. You'll step up to the plate, bat in hand, ready to unleash your power. Coaches meticulously analyze your swing mechanics, offering personalized tips on everything from footwork to bat path. They'll help you dial in your timing, boost your bat speed, and improve your hand-eye coordination so you can crush every pitch that comes your way.
But it's not just about the physical side of the game. Coaches will also work with you on the mental aspects of hitting, teaching you strategies for reading pitchers, staying focused under pressure, and developing a confident mindset at the plate. This personalized attention and expert guidance are what set IMG Academy apart. You'll leave each session feeling more knowledgeable, more skilled, and more confident in your abilities.

10:30 AM-12:15 PM: Rest & Relaxation
After an intense morning session, it's time to catch your breath and recharge. You head back to the dorms, where you can chill out with your roommates, catch up with friends from other sports, or grab a quick snack.
This is your time to explore campus. Take a dip in the pool to cool off, challenge your crew to a game of ping pong in the game room, or even squeeze in a casual tennis match. The options are endless, ensuring you have a chance to relax, have fun, and build lasting friendships with your fellow athletes.
12:15-1:15 PM: Lunch
After putting in the work during your morning training session, your body needs the right fuel to recover and recharge. Back at the Campus Center, you're greeted with a lunch spread that's as delicious as it is nutritious. IMG Academy knows you need a menu that satisfies your appetite and gives your muscles the nutrients they crave.
Whether you're going through the cafeteria line or grabbing a bite from one of the popular fast-casual spots like Wahlburgers or Shaq’s Big Chicken on campus, you'll have plenty of delicious options. With choices to satisfy any dietary needs or preferences, you'll be fueled up and ready to tackle the afternoon's challenges.
1:15-2:15 PM: Performance Training
In the afternoon, campers have the opportunity to participate in elective training specializations. These specialized sessions focus on areas outside of the campers' main sport, such as speed and agility, mental performance, or injury prevention.
For example, a baseball camper might choose to participate in a speed and agility session to improve their footwork, quickness, and explosiveness or go to a mental performance session to hone their resiliency and confidence.
2:15-4:30 PM: Sport Training 2
The focus of the morning session was on developing individual skills. In the afternoon, campers come together for sport-specific training sessions. This is where they'll put their newly acquired skills to the test in simulated game situations.
Baseball campers might participate in scrimmages, working on baserunning, fielding, and pitching strategies. Coaches will be there to observe and offer guidance, helping campers make adjustments and improve their overall game IQ.
4:30-10:00 PM: Dinner & Recreation Time
As the sun begins to set, it's time to unwind and embrace the fun side of IMG Academy. After dinner back at the dining hall, the evening is yours to create lasting memories. Whether you're exploring on-campus activities or venturing out on exciting excursions, you'll find plenty of ways to make the most of your summer nights.
On-campus options are endless. Challenge your friends to a friendly competition, show off your video game skills, catch what’s playing in the Campus Center, or join a pick-up game of basketball or soccer with your fellow athletes.
But the fun doesn't stop there. IMG Academy also offers exciting off-campus excursions to local attractions like beaches, theme parks, shopping centers, and local professional sports teams. These adventures are a great way to bond with your fellow campers, explore the surrounding area, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Whether you're chilling on the beach with friends, riding thrilling rollercoasters, or catching the latest blockbuster, the evening recreation time is the perfect way to unwind, have fun, and build lifelong friendships. These shared experiences are what make IMG Academy camps truly unforgettable.
But don’t take our word for it. See what other campers love about their IMG Academy experience and watch a video to see what a day here could look like for you.
10:00 PM: Lights Out
After a full day of training, improving, and, most importantly, FUN, it’s time to wind down. Lights out at IMG Academy is at 10:00 PM. This is to ensure you get enough sleep to be ready to make the most of the next day.
Your experience. Your way.
This is just one possible example of a day at IMG Academy camp. Every day is different, but one thing is for sure: campers will have a blast and learn from the best.
