What is MIA

Event Planning and Management
MIA Elite Academy, based in Hawaii, organizes and hosts various sports events, including the “Winter Camp.” Under professional coaching supervision, we provide children with not only opportunities for athletic development but also personal growth. Over the years, we have successfully organized large-scale events that brought together more than 120 athletes.

International Tour Programs
Every summer, we host an international tour to Japan, where participants engage in local tournaments and joint training sessions with club teams over the course of a week. Through homestays, players experience Japanese culture and lifestyle, promoting international exchange and enhancing cross-cultural understanding through sports.

Invitation-Only Training Programs
We offer a selective, high-performance training program for Hawaii’s top athletes. The program, consisting of three male teams and one female team, provides high-intensity training sessions and domestic and international tours, creating a competitive training environment that aims to foster greater athleticism.

Study Abroad Support Programs
We support young athletes from Japan by providing a study-abroad program that includes training, event participation, and homestays in Hawaii. This program helps improve language skills and broadens global perspectives. Additionally, native-speaking instructors provide language lessons aimed at improving English proficiency, offering a valuable opportunity to develop independence and adaptability to multicultural environments.
