  • The rosters comprise players from different US states/regions and international Spanish players. We aim to prepare the players for an immersion experience by introducing them to other athletes worldwide.

  • Players who attend XR Soccer training summer and winter camps are evaluated for attendance to Madrid. Sometimes, a tryout can be scheduled for evaluation upon request. Some players may be observed at their club if further evaluation is required.

  • Because teams are formed with kids from all over the USA and Spain, having training sessions beforehand is extremely rare due to logistics.

  • All teams are comprised of players of the same gender.
