ISO: International soccer camp with great training

[Anonymous]

Please recommend an international soccer camp for a 2010 and 2007 competitive players (boys). They already train Barcelona style so perhaps something in Spain? I’m looking for a camp experience only. I’m not interested in tourist/ sight seeing experiences which is what so many places offer. Thank you

It is way too early to send them to Europe at their ages for camps, unless you are flush with money and view it as mostly cultural experience.

We did a camp at Barcelona with the club that was excellent but be wary as there are 100s of "affiliated clubs" throughout Spain that basically rent the Barcelona name and run a club. The one that was organized by the team itself at the Nou Camp and the training facilities is one to look for if they still offer it (I think sometimes it is by invitation only).

AJAX is also supposed to have some good programs, but again watch out for licensee programs.

. I thought Ayax was an invitation only program? Do they have camps?

Have you considered asking the Barca Academy for advice? I know they run their own events for internal players, but they may be able to make some solid suggestions since they do have that connection.

How do you get invited to AJAX then?
