You’ve heard of FC Barcelona. The Catalan club is renowned for developing world class players like Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Sergio Busquets and many more who have worn the fabled blaugrana colors.

By now, you’ve heard of FCB’s Escola program in San Diego as well. The year round curriculum offered by the FCBEscola team replicates the same training techniques that the aforementioned world class players have been schooled in since arriving at Barcelona.

FCBEscola has announced a free round of tryouts for players born between the years 2001-2011 to learn the Barca way as part of an after school program produced by a partnership between FC Barcelona and the San Diego Unified School District.

The district’s students will enjoy an exclusive opportunity to attend the free clinics and for those interested, a reduced fee to attend the year-round soccer academy will also be offered. The tuition-based academy will be open to all members of the San Diego community. Both the clinics and the academy will begin in Fall 2017, and players qualify for the year-round program by attending tryouts.

“We believe there is a place for every player in our program,” said FC Barcelona Escola Director Franc Carbo. “The objective is to take a player from whatever level they are currently at to the next level, regardless of where they start.”
