More than coaching, it’s a mission.
About us
At NextPlay Barcelona, we believe in more than just football training we believe in unlocking a child’s full potential through focused, personalized development in one of the world’s football capitals.
We were founded with one clear mission: To give international youth players access to elite, flexible training experiences that go far beyond traditional camps or group sessions.
Focused on growth, not gimmicks.
Why We’re Different
Too often, football camps in Europe are overcrowded, rushed, and generic focused more on tourism than on player development. At NextPlay Barcelona, we take a completely different approach:
Individual Attention – 1-on-1 or small group sessions that adapt to your child's strengths, goals, and playing style.
Flexible Scheduling – You choose when to come. No set start dates. No one-size-fits-all packages.
Top-Level Coaching – Our UEFA-licensed coaches come from top European football backgrounds, bringing elite training standards to every session.

Our Vision
We don’t do mass-market camps. We don’t charge for hotels and tourist excursions. We focus on one thing: making your child a better footballer — mentally, technically, and physically — through professional, focused training.

We’re not here for crowds or fluff. We’re here to make your child a smarter, sharper, and stronger footballer , one focused session at a time
