I stumbled on this video while I was clicking around Youtube. I'll give you some time stamps in the video so you can just watch those little parts. It's crazy how good these kids are even when they're only 10-11. I guarantee you they could beat a high school team, or probably a lot of girls teams. The video is in Catalan, so if you know a little Spanish, you'll understand a bit.

Barca @ 7 minutes

Barca @ 8 minutes

Barca @ 15:45 minutes

Kids are animals

Soccer board will love this.

A US kids used to play for the Barca team. We have one kid on the Real Madrid youth team that is about this age.

So you're saying instead of travel ball, I should move to Spain and enroll my kid in a soccer academy.

I don't know what to think of that. It's crazy to me that there are academies dedicated to club teams. But hey, if you get a good education and chance for the future, then why the hell not.

All of these kids will play professionally. There are so many leagues for soccer around the globe.

The only thing jarring to me is the size of the ball relative to the players.

The quality of play, while very good, wasn't really shocking, I suppose. These are two of the best sporting clubs known to man.

I find it even cooler that the ball is the size of his shin and he can still do all of this.

I have little doubt these teams could beat many high school teams. Biggest issue I see is the size of the goalkeeper. He can cover about 10% of the net...put it on frame and I doubt he stops it.

Yea watching the videos in the OP I imagine it's pretty easy to score when anything put 6.5 ft off the ground is impossible to save.

They are good. But they aren't beating any high school teams.
