truly “more than a club.” FC Barcelona has a rich
history of success and 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. For the season 2008/2009 FC Barcelona won
an unprecedented 6 titles: Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions
League, Super Cup, Club World Cup and the European Super
Cup. 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. Central to the success of the team is the
philosophy of developing home grown players through the
FCB youth academy who then go on to represent the first
team.

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.

A specialized goalkeeping school is
conducted under the guidance of a
FC Barcelona goalkeeper coach. Complete
technical and tactical goalkeeping
training includes topics ranging from
shot stopping and dealing with crosses,
to 1v1s and distribution. Goalkeepers
are integrated into small-sided games
and full matches in order to hone
decision-making skills.

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
