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:
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“What is the structure of government that will best guard against the precipitate counsels and factious combinations for unjust purposes, without a sacrifice of the fundamental principle of republicanism?”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filled;
Our to-days and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we build.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
