[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did some digging on the Juventus team at the sportsplex.  It's just a branding thing, the lead guy use to coach at potomac I think.   The only one I have found that is legit is Barca, say what you want, but the coaches are sent from Barca HQ or minimally certified by the TD, who is from Barca HQ.  All the other ones are just partnership brands.

"Hey TD, come visit our club for $$$$.  If you pay us XYZ, you can use our brand"  Villareal, Juventus, etc.[/quote]

Oh, I’m sure you did, Mr/Mrs Barca.  Gotta protect the shield on this board. [/quote]

I'm by no means Mr. Barca and none of my kids are with the club.  If you don't like the truth, then there is no hope for you.  It's the truth and whether you like the program or not, it really is a Barca curriculum.  Not just a bunch of kids and coaches wearing euro swag.  Coaches were sent here from the mothership and my neighbor even housed one for a few weeks when they first started.  In the end, i'm a business minded person so these models intrigue me, the Juve program in MD has zero alignment in training, just name.   [/quote]

100% correct it is the true Barca curriculum.  Hopefully, for the youth soccer market's sake, they actually become a little more selective at the older ages and they become a model for other clubs to follow.  Right now they're focused on quantity not quality.  That's ok at U7 and U8 but at some point you are just running a day care no matter what the curriculum is.[/quote]

As PP stated, Barca has shifted its focus to bringing in more $$$ at the expense of quality of the player pool.  As a result, they lost some good players, who declined offers to come back, while many underperforming players with rec mentality returned.  Authentic curriculum helps, but you need to have the right ingredients too.  [/quote]
