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:
“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)
“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)
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
