For kix I took my two boys to the Valencia tryout today, was a cool, featuring Communications lead, Valencia TD and apparently their major scout.

Barca own has started but have them enrolled for June 11th

Yeah B Escola have locations all around the US. Good time for them to come in as Cosmos youth developmental program on hold/fall off

More of a supplementary training program as I understand it at the moment.

I'm working the FCBEscola camp in Raliegh, I like their curriculum and methodology, they preach the Barca way. Those kids gets lots of touches on the ball and topics range from the concepts of occupying space to organizational defense. The players are always challenged to make quick decisions on and off the ball, no slacking in this one.
