Williamsburg, VA (January 30, 2007)  -  The Virginia Legacy Soccer Club announced today that FC Barcelona, defending European Champions League Winners, will be coming to Williamsburg, Virginia this summer to lead a soccer camp for its players.   FC Barcelona, known for the one of the best players in the world and soccer icon Ronaldhino, will come to the area with their knowledge and expertise for a five day camp in June.  “This is a great chance for the players of the club to be trained by the same people who deal with high level professionals on a daily basis. It will give the players insight to what a young professional goes through and an unparalleled opportunity to work with the FC Barcelona Soccer Schools top coaches,” said Bobby O’Brien, Director of Youth Development.  This opportunity stems from the close partnership that the Virginia Legacy Soccer Club holds with Nike, Inc. As a Premier Nike Club, the Virginia Legacy is able to work closely with professional soccer clubs to bring them over in the summer months. The VLSC is fortunate to be only one of four NIKE Premier Clubs that was chosen to host FC Barcelona this summer. 

More information will be released in the coming month along with age groups, price, days/times and the registration process.  Visit www.valegacysoccer.com under the camps link for more information.
