Doubts and Queries
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before joining the high-performance discipline in Barcelona.
1. What is the main objective of this intensive program?
This program has a dual optional purpose: it serves as a short-term high-performance preparation stage or as a direct access trial to enter the annual academy. Young people attend either to prepare for an upcoming competition and use a few vacation days to train and get in shape, or with the intention of taking the access trial for the academy’s annual training program.
2. What is the difference between this training stage and a conventional camp?
Unlike holiday or entertainment camps, this is a stage firmly focused on the performance and individual evolution of the footballer. The academy’s coaches are professionals trained within the institution itself and undertake a specific internal course developed by the academy to ensure that its own training methods are applied and executed with absolute rigor.
3. How do I know if the player has the necessary level to participate?
The programs are aimed at young profiles who are already competing in clubs or federations and are looking to accelerate their physical-tactical performance. The age range for these stays in Barcelona is from 8 to 21 years, always grouping students homogeneously by age and technical ability during training.
4. Will there be scouts from professional LaLiga clubs during the program?
No, in this intensive program, there are no scouts from LaLiga. The main purpose is to improve the player’s level or to serve as an access trial for the academy’s annual training program. Students who train in the annual program do so with the firm intention of substantially improving their football level; once they acquire the necessary competitive level, the academy’s professionals and coaches are responsible for finding suitable opportunities for the player in football teams where they know with certainty they can fit in optimally.
5. How is a player's performance demonstrated and evaluated?
The evaluation is continuous and analytical by sports professionals. At the end of the program stay, the player receives a complete technical performance report that serves as a diagnosis and resume, detailing all observed strengths and the points that require further tactical refinement.
6. What if the player is a foreigner?
Barcelona is a very important international hub. As expert intermediaries, we at Ertheo advise you on all the details of short-stay visas and health coverage. The fees include full accommodation and supervision by academy tutors to ensure international students have a 100% safe experience.
7. What services are typically included when booking a trial?
To ensure the footballer’s sporting progress is the only priority, the basic packages for the academy’s sports stay include: accommodation in the official residence, full board with athlete nutrition, intensive daily training, official academy training kit, laundry for sports gear, and final progress reports.
8. What are the player's real long-term projection possibilities?
The great advantage of the tryout is direct access to the academy’s annual training program. In it, students train with the main objective of perfecting and maximizing their performance. Once the academy’s coaches and professionals confirm that the player has reached the optimal competitive level, they actively seek a sporting fit in football teams in the region and at a national level according to their abilities.
