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:
“The verbal poetical texture of Shakespeare is the greatest the world has known, and is immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. With Shakespeare it is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
