Structure
Like the Ajax youth set-up, the club maintains several soccer schools, some satellite clubs and camps in Italy (addressed to 8 to 16 year-old boys who want to improve their own level of game), United States, Mexico and England (all addressed to 11 to 16 year-old boys) and football initiatives like Juventus University, the first Football University in the world (powered by University of Turin) and Juventus National Academy, launched to creating a network of Juventus football schools (or academies) throughout Italy addressed to 8 to 12 year-old boys.
The "Juventus College" was opened in September 2012 to provide mainstream education for the youth sector players who do not reside in the Turin area. It is a liceo scientifico and also provides practical vocational training for the youth sector players past the mandatory schooling age of 16. Previously, school-age players would have to divide their time between school and training.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
