Barça Camps Switzerland - Your step to the next level!

The training program at Barça Camps Switzerland is based on FC Barcelona's proven training methodology. All training sessions are led by official Barça coaches from the "Barça Cantera" in Catalonia, who are present on the pitch daily. They are supported by an additional professional Barça Academy coach for every 10 to 12 participants aged 7 to 15. Every day, the children are guided through a playful and engaging way to learn the unmistakable style of FC Barcelona.

No special technical skills are required to participate in the Barça Camps Switzerland. Anyone can participate ; the only requirements are a passion for football and a love of learning through play.

Reaction to bad weather

Training will generally continue even in the rain. However, in dangerous situations such as lightning strikes, strong winds, or other unavoidable circumstances, training may be interrupted or canceled.
