It is not exclusive at all. Hundreds of kids get these invites.

If you have the money and would like to send your kid on a solo vacation to Spain I would wait until he's about 14yr. old.

Plenty of organizations in Spain and other European countries do these camps. You can always reach out to them as well, you don't need a special invite to most.

My son played Travel and received lots of invitations from the age of 9 until he was 16 when he quit the sport.

Even Rec. players can attend these camps. It is an experience, nothing to do with "talent".

It’s great experience for the kids. I would go with our kids Who cars if it’s 5k or 10.

Some people here think anything that costs money is somehow a scam or trick. These same people pay handsomely to go on cruise ships and disney world and summer camps and concerts and the grand canyon. But if it involves soccer it’s for suckers.

Makes sense. Kind of like when playing ocean course and we get caddies even though we are not great golfers.

The summer camp was fun. The coaches were friendly and taught more than physical soccer/football. Also respect and mindfulness.

Do they have a camp in Virginia or is it in only?

I remember hearing about this a few years ago from other parents, the kids were around that age.

Some also got a chance to see the team when they came here, like if they played for Barca.

I didn't know they were offering it to other clubs.

Sounds fun

What you mentioned are vacation and advertising as such. These camps are advertised as “invitation only” soccer camp when in fact rec kids do get invited the same.

Now don’t get me wrong, it’s a fun experience if you can afford it but your kid isn’t coming back a different soccer player from these trips.
