Agreed.  and depending on your geography, Alexandria and Barca also have great programs - in different ways.  All 3 are great choices.

Most of Barca's B teams are subpar and your kid might have to practice with rec level players.  But if your kid is offered a spot on the A team, you will have a good experience.  [/quote]

All training at Barca is the same regardless of team level.  [/quote]

As for the methodology, yes, the training is the same.  But the quality of training also depend on the quality of the player pool.   If your kid's technique is good, but he or she is training with players that have subpar technique and execution, it is difficult to develop the appropriate speed of play.   The top 3-5 players on B teams get screwed not because the quality of coaching is bad, but because the player talent pool is shallow and there is a big drop off.      [/quote]

+1 this is even true for some of the "A" teams there, who are seeded with C and D team players from other clubs.  Only a few of the A teams there are competitive with other area A teams.[/quote]
