[quote=Anonymous]Been with FCB since the beginning, which is only one year. Sept 2017 was the beginning.  I have multiple kids in different age groups.  We have been very happy so far, and most of the other families we talk to have similar sentiments. The kids love it.  The training is outstanding, extremely professional. Every player in every age group gets the exact same training. Practices are run like clockwork. Drills run the same way, they all take breaks at the same time, choreographed across 6-10 teams across 2 fields. Everything planned to the minute. 
Focus is very much on player development. Kids will move frequently to train with different groups based on their strengths. Girls mixed with boys. I’ve seen players train with groups 2-3 years older. It works because the Barca style of play is less physical. As soon as player gets comfortable they challenge with more.
This first year was to be internal competition only but we did a fair amount of tournaments because the TD felt teams were progressing ahead of schedule. This upcoming season will have more external competition and likely league play starting in the spring.
There are some very good players from other clubs, some typical average Travel players. The focus is on team play, possession, and making the right decisions over score and winning.  Some teams have done quite well in tournaments although as new teams they are needing to enter at the lowest brackets.
Opportunities to travel to Spain and play in events with other escolas from around the world. These are “experience” opportunities (read: if you can pay you can go) and not completion based. Great experience for kids but don’t think it means your kid is Messi.
Don’t know any family not returning. In fact most are adding more siblings. It’s different than the standard travel experience. May not be for everyone but we’ve enjoyed it
Around 300 players this year.  Will be over 400 in the fall as more were added in tryouts. Roughly 2 teams per age group but the teams are very fluid.[/quote]
