under 9’s Academy Team
About us.
Barça Escola is the football academy that follows the FC Barcelona model aimed at boys and girls aged 6 to 12 years.
We teach the players the basic concepts of football in order for them to be able to deal successfully with sporting challenges in the future, while also teaching them the values that are so representative of FC Barcelona: Humility, effort, ambition, respect and teamwork
The same training methods is used by the youth teams at the Club, which consist of a series of progressive and interrelated exercises, adapted to each training level or stage.
All pupils train two days a week and play matches on Sundays. Aside from internal league matches, the pupils have the chance to take part in different camps and tournaments that are organised during the course.
