[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad]OK then, what does "much longer track record around the World and other states" mean?

I don't think anyone's getting defensive. There are scores of clubs in the area. What's one more?[/quote]

It means that as far as development in the States there is not much of any track record of development as the escolas are mostly less than two years old. They are not marketing D1 commitments or Pro contracts as a stated mission or as developmental achievement either.

As far as escolas around the world, the relative age of the escolas still applies and the Barcelona stated mission of the escolas still applies. The escolas are geared towards younger kids primarily.

While the escolas allow Barcelona to expand their scouting network it was never the intention to do so above spreading the barcelona brand through teaching soccer using Barcelona methods.

The escolas freely admit that they are about spreading the band and they make no promises regarding professional or collegiate success. That does not mean they are not aware of desire in the US market to cater to parental pressures for showcases and such but you'll be hard pressed to find references to scholarships in their promotional material.[/quote]
