INTRODUCTION:

This FC Barcelona Soccer program is an exciting opportunity for teens interested in specialized soccer training, through an exclusive partnership with one of the world’s most successful soccer teams and their expert coaches. This camp is organized by Academic Study Associates (ASA) in partnership with FC Barcelona Soccer School. In addition to world class training, students will participate in daily soccer-related workshops as well as enjoy cultural tours and visits on the weekends.

 

FCBarcelona “More than a club”
Founded in 1899, FC Barcelona is one of the most recognized and legendary teams in world soccer and is truly “more than a club.” FC Barcelona is one of the most decorated in terms of honors and accolades, enjoys worldwide support, and is committed to the highest standards on the field of play, as well as being a pioneer in off-the-pitch initiatives. FC Barcelona is important for what it represents to the city of Barcelona and the people of Catalonia, who truly treat the club as their national team. FC Barcelona has an unrivaled reputation for the successful training and production of world-class players.

Train the Barça Way
Train as champions train. Whether you are looking to earn a college scholarship, make your state program, earn a place on your club team, or simply ensure your spot on your varsity team, the FC Barcelona elite soccer program in partnership with ASA will help you reach your full potential and achieve your goals. Training is led by official coaches from FC Barcelona Soccer School and consists of 2 sessions per day, 5 days per week. Coaching will be in Spanish and some English.

Hosted at FC Barcelona’s state-of-the-art training facilities, players will have access to various on-site artificial pitches next to the legendary Camp Nou Stadium. The intense program of complete soccer training prepares young players from all over the world for the high demands of competitive club or high school soccer. Specialized training and individual attention with one coach for every 10 players maximizes the progression of each player during the 2-week program. Coaches work closely on all aspects of your game: technical, tactical, physical, and psychological.

 

 

This Elite Soccer Program is designed for those who play regular soccer to a good standard and is an intensive course. This Soccer Camp is only for players with strong soccer skills. Recreational and debutant soccer players will not be admitted. For those who do not play to such a high standard, we strongly recommend a more recreational sport camp instead. (After registration you will need to fill out a soccer ability form and other additional forms)

  • Increase your speed and agility

The city of Barcelona and beyond

Barcelona’s history enriches its vibrant modern cultural life and reputation for being cosmopolitan and cutting edge. The city lays claim to many important museums and galleries, whose Modernist architecture championed by Antoni Gaudí contrasts with the ultra-modern Olympic port and pristine beaches of the stunning Mediterranean coast. From the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter to the modern shops and cafes of Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona possesses a unique energy and style that make it one of the top destinations in all of Europe.

Saturday and Sunday will be assigned for regeneration, recovery time, and cultural excursions in Barcelona and beyond. Participants enjoy 2 full-day excursions, Port Aventura Theme Park and Sitges, and enjoy visits to Casa Batllo, La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia Cathedral, Picasso and Miró Museums, beaches, as well as a guided tour of the gothic quarter (subject to change).

 

ASA in Barcelona is an exciting opportunity to live, study and explore in one of Europe's most magical cities and by the time you leave you will know the city inside and out. Barcelona enjoys a reputation for being cutting edge and cosmopolitan and boasts some of the finest museums in Europe as well as the ultra modern Olympic port and beaches. You are given the responsibility and independence to balance training, classes, activities, and free time to make sure you get the most out of your experience. You can choose to join an ASA supervised activity or trip, or use free time for relaxation. You are also free to sign out to explore the city in small groups without supervision. ASA staff are always available to accompany student groups and help ensure access so that you see and do as much as possible.

 

Weekend and evenings are designed to make sure you make the most of your time in Barcelona and you'll quickly become an expert on how to get around and enjoy this incredible environment where the possibilities are almost endless. The learning experience extends beyond the field and the classroom and you will find your inspiration as much from discovering your favorite spot for tapas as marveling at works in the Picasso museum. There is also plenty of down time for you to practice your Spanish, enjoy the city and soak up the local flavor at a café or hang out at the dormitory with friends
