[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a model many big soccer brands follow to capitalize on their popularity. Summer camps, training academies all over the world. Juventus has about 30 of these throughout the world. No where do they claim these academies have any path or affiliation with their professional team, other than branding and training philosophy. They are selling the experience and the brand and it works. Barca does the same thing. So does Arsenal. It's good business. Having had kids play at one of these branded academies for a while, I never felt they were selling something they weren't. Was it high quality? Yes. Was it expensive? Yes. Did my kid have a good time? Yes.[/quote]

Bayern Munich does it too.

Barca's residential academy in Arizona is very highly ranked in the US.[/quote]

Yea, but that’s a different beast. The residential academy plays in MLS NEXT and every single player that graduated from there has either gone pro or played college. I think they say they are the only official Barca program of its kind in the USA. Sort of makes sense....[/quote]
