Barça Academy Chicago runs FC Barcelona's official soccer camp for boys and girls ages 6-17 at Olympic Park in Schaumburg. The camp is five days, 8am-2pm, taught by official FC Barcelona coaches flown in from Spain - all UEFA-licensed, with a dedicated goalkeeper coach running separate GK sessions - using the same club methodology its academy graduates came through. Each day runs two training sessions with snack and lunch breaks, then an afternoon competition block, closing with feedback; campers are grouped by skill level and age on day one and can move groups as the week goes on. It is a day camp only, with no accommodation. Every camper gets a welcome pack and a completion diploma, prizes and awards go to standouts, a licensed athletic trainer is on site, and families pack their own lunch and buy the required Nike training kit separately.

★★★★★Yanela MadrigalThey have a perfect training methology and my son has improved a lot. I wanna thank all the coaches and directors.
★Ivelina TodorovaI expected the academy to teach kids how to play soccer, not expect them to be professional players before they have even started. The coach was very rude and unprofessional. If you want someone to yell at your kid and make them feel worthless, then choose this academy.
★★Александр СимончикOne coach for 35 children. Low level coach. Their opinion is that children themselves should learn. .
★★★★★Ahmet BekenovAs a parent, I strongly recommend Barca Academy Chicago to all kids and youths. Thanks to all coaches and directors.
★★★★★Erik JonesThe one week summer camp was very well done and my son not only came home exhausted from playing and learning but was very excited about soccer. The coaches provided a lot of instruction and the experience overall was top notch.
