• Entry by tryout, with level tests held three times a season and spots open only to residents of Catalonia
• Full-season commitment, two weekday training sessions plus a Sunday-afternoon match from September to June
• In Sant Joan Despí, at the club's Joan Gamper training complex about 15 minutes from central Barcelona, not at Camp Nou

FC Barcelona's grassroots football school, run at the Joan Gamper training complex in Sant Joan Despí using the same methodology and playing style as the club's academy. It is a season-long commitment: players train twice a week and play Sunday-afternoon matches in an internal league from September to June. Places are not open enrollment, so children sit level tests and registration is limited to Catalonia residents.
