Developing champions on and off the field through excellence in football, table tennis, and tennis
At Ideal Sports Academy, we are dedicated to transforming young athletes into champions both on and off the field. Founded with a vision to provide comprehensive sports education, our academy specializes in three core sports: football, table tennis, and tennis.
Officially kicked off around March 2021 with a vision to revolutionize youth sports development, Ideal Sports Academy has grown from a small community initiative to one of the most respected multi-sport academies in the Redemption City of God.
Our journey began when the founder Coach Akinleye Johnson, recognized the need for a comprehensive training program that develops not just skilled players, but well-rounded individuals. What started with just 3 young kids on a blessed ground RCCG Camp ground has now evolved into a well-structured Sports academy with over 50 aspiring athletes across three sports.
Over the years, we've built partnerships with professional Academies within and outside Nigeria, given scholarship programs to talented athletes from underprivileged backgrounds, and created pathways that will lead our graduates to professional contracts and university scholarships worldwide. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the court and field, emphasizing character development, academic achievement, and life skills that prepare our athletes for success in all aspects of life.
Today, Ideal Sports Academy stands as a beacon of hope for young athletes who dream of competing at the highest levels.
