FCB Keepers 2011

Aside from the traditional Christmas camp, the FCBEscola has also organized a campus exclusively for goalkeepers. In this case there is only one shift, from 27 to 30 December. For Marcé, the "keeper is the key figure in the club, and, therefore, to have this specific campuses, with more than fifty keepers, it is very important".

Once again, the FCBEscola organised its FCB Campus de Nadal this Christmas at the  Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. This year there were two separate groups – the first from 27th – 29th December and the second from 2nd-4th January. The FCBEscola  Director Xevi Marcé commented on the “good level” achieved at the Campus and that the Christmas School had been strengthened.

Four hundred and fifty children experienced the Barça philosophy over the Christmas break and also took part in activities such as ice-skating at the Barça rink and visiting the Club Museum.

The Campus, coordinated by Edgar Enrich, was aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 12 and after training first thing at the Ciutat Esportiva, the participants showered and changed before being driven by coach to the Nou Camp for other  activities.
