Location
Minneapolis, located in Minnesota, is the most populous city in the state, with around 430,000 residents. Together with its neighbouring city Saint Paul, it forms the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Known for its 22 lakes and 180 parks, it offers an exceptional living environment for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The city is also a major cultural hub, home to prestigious institutions such as the Walker Art Center and the Guthrie Theater.
Economically, Minneapolis hosts the headquarters of major companies like Target and U.S. Bancorp, reflecting its economic vitality. The city’s diverse population, including significant Somali and Hmong communities, adds to its rich cultural landscape. Finally, Minneapolis is well known for its commitment to sustainable development and the quality of life of its residents.
The sporting Facilities
The National Sports Center (NSC), located at 1700 105th Ave NE in Blaine, Minnesota, is the largest amateur sports complex in the world, spanning over 240 hectares.
Opened in 1990, it includes more than 50 football pitches, a golf course, a convention centre, an eight-rink ice arena known as the Super Rink, and a football stadium with a capacity of 5,500 spectators. Each year, the NSC hosts major events such as the USA Cup — the largest soccer tournament in the Western Hemisphere — attracting over 1,100 teams from 19 countries. In addition to football, the complex offers facilities for hockey, figure skating, speed skating, rugby, ultimate frisbee, and lacrosse.
The NSC is managed by the National Sports Center Foundation, a non-profit organisation, and welcomes over 3.8 million visitors annually, making it the most visited sports facility in Minnesota. Its commitment to amateur sports development makes it a key destination for athletes of all ages and skill levels.
Catering and food
Each day, a lunch break is scheduled between 11:45 am and 12:30 pm to allow children to rest and recharge. It is recommended to provide them with a balanced meal and a water bottle to help them stay well hydrated.
The camp is designed to respect the natural rhythm of the children, with regular breaks throughout the day. This allows them to rest, hydrate, and enjoy a small snack provided by FC Barcelona. The goal: to combine effort, enjoyment, and well-being in a structured, healthy, and positive environment.
Safety and security
From the moment they arrive, children are welcomed into a warm and secure environment where everything is designed to make them feel heard, respected, and in their rightful place. The atmosphere of the camp is built on a caring and attentive presence that values each child’s individuality.
The coaching team is committed to creating a personalised setting for growth, where each child progresses at their own pace, according to their needs and strengths. The aim is not only to develop players but also to help children grow on a human level — in a spirit of trust, respect, and continuous improvement.

Training
The FC Barcelona camp offers far more than just a week of football — it is a full immersion into the world and values of an exceptional club. Inspired by the methods that shaped legendary players such as Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta, this programme invites children to see football differently — with rigour, intelligence, and creativity.
Each day combines technical work, tactical understanding, mental development, and the transmission of strong values such as respect, humility, and teamwork. The goal is not only to improve ball control, but also to grow as a person.
Thanks to coaches certified by Barça, children evolve in a structured, caring, and motivating environment where both team spirit and self-confidence are nurtured. A rich experience — sporting and human.
Coaches and coaching method
Camps organised by FC Barcelona are not just sporting activities — they are genuine educational journeys designed to support each child’s growth, both individually and as part of a team. From the very first moment, everything is put in place to provide a structured, reassuring, and stimulating environment, true to the rigorous educational approach of the Barça Academy, renowned worldwide for its excellence.
Here, certified coaches do more than teach technical skills — they act as real mentors, attentive to each child, responsive to their needs, and able to adapt their guidance to support every player’s personal development. Each exercise becomes an opportunity for growth, both on the pitch and in life.
This camp aims to teach far more than football: it instils respect, teamwork, discipline, and humility. The ball becomes a tool for learning and personal development, in an environment that is demanding, supportive, and deeply human.
