The U.S. youth development system is poised to add a new member, FC Barcelona. The world soccer giants have announced that they will open a youth training center in Long Island, New York. The news comes on the heels of Barca opening an academy in Casa Grande, Arizona and its nationwide programs in cities throughout the country. Youth academy players will be trained by coaches from La Masia, Barcelona’s famed development system in Spain.
