DME ACADEMY has announced its 2027 Summer Prep programs in Daytona Beach, Florida, featuring three sports: basketball, volleyball, and soccer. Designed for student-athletes ages 13 to 18, the camps offer two to three weeks of intensive training, competitive play, and residential campus life, giving young athletes the opportunity to experience the U.S. athletic development system firsthand.
The programs combine DME ACADEMY’s professional-level training facilities, coaching staff with collegiate and professional experience, and comprehensive sports performance training to help young athletes improve their game while expanding their international perspective.
More Than a Decade of Developing Student-Athletes from Around the World
Founded in 2015, DME ACADEMY is an international sports academy based in Florida that integrates academics, elite athletic training, and college development. Over the past decade, DME has helped more than 140 student-athletes advance into the NCAA collegiate athletics system while developing numerous athletes who have continued their careers at the college and professional levels.
DME Summer Camps have become an important part of the academy’s annual summer programming. In addition to attracting student-athletes from across the United States, the camps welcome athletes from different countries and regions each year to train in Florida, live alongside players from diverse backgrounds, and compete in an international environment.
For international students interested in learning more about sports in the United States, Summer Prep provides more than intensive athletic training. It also offers an early introduction to American high school and college sports culture, as well as the experience of living and training abroad.
Three Sports, Three Focused Summer Development Programs
Basketball Summer Prep | June 28 to July 19, 2027
The three-week Basketball Summer Prep includes two on-court training sessions each day, four strength and conditioning sessions per week, and three AAU tournaments or official competition events. Training covers individual skill development, position-specific work, tactical understanding, and team competition, with an emphasis on applying what athletes learn in practice directly to game situations.
Volleyball Summer Prep｜July 11 to July 23, 2027
This two-week girls volleyball program focuses on serving, serve receive, attacking, blocking, and defensive skills. Position-specific training, team competition, and four sports performance sessions per week are integrated into the program to improve technical consistency, in-game decision-making, and team chemistry.
Soccer Summer Prep｜July 11th to July 23rd, 2027
The two-week Soccer Summer Prep is open to both boys and girls. Athletes participate in two soccer-specific training sessions each day along with four strength and conditioning sessions per week. The curriculum includes ball control, passing, finishing, attacking and defensive transitions, positional development, and tactical understanding, helping players strengthen both individual technique and overall match performance.
Professional-Level Facilities and Coaches with Collegiate and Professional Experience
DME Academy provides student-athletes with professional-level courts and fields, modern strength and conditioning spaces, and a complete athletic training environment designed to reflect the standards of collegiate and professional sports programs.
The coaching staff brings experience from both U.S. college and professional athletics, integrating real-world coaching knowledge, competitive strategy, and athlete development methods into the daily training environment. Beyond technical instruction, the programs also emphasize sports performance, physical development, game decision-making, and individualized feedback, helping athletes build a more complete competitive foundation.
DME’s development system is reflected in the success of its full-time teams on the national stage. The Boys Basketball National Team has reached the national Final Four in three consecutive seasons, consistently competing against some of the top basketball programs in the country. During the same period, the Boys Prep Team also captured the Phenom Nationals championship.
DME’s Girls Basketball team won the 2026 U18 Chipotle Nationals championship, while the Girls Volleyball program captured the Under Armour 18U Premier Division title. The Boys Soccer team also finished the Battle at the Beach Showcase with a perfect 3–0 record, demonstrating DME’s ability to develop competitive athletes across multiple sports.
A Complete U.S. Sports Experience, On and Off the Field
Summer Prep combines high-level athletic training with residential campus life. In addition to daily sport-specific training and performance sessions, the program includes housing, three meals per day, team activities, and sport-specific experiences such as beach activities and visits to U.S. college campuses. Airport transportation assistance is also available for international students upon request.
By training and living alongside athletes from the United States and other countries, participants have the opportunity to improve not only their athletic ability, but also their English communication, teamwork, and independence. The result is an international development environment that goes well beyond the experience of a typical short-term skills camp.
