From a ESPN story, all clubs have been announced since March so logistically this is hard with all these schools but it is all about money as the club confirmed when opening their Park Avenue office:
The Catalan club have previously opened or confirmed the launch of academies in San Diego, California; Chicago, Illinois; Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Northern Virginia; and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
It's all part of a larger plan to expand across the U.S. that has been ongoing since last September, when an office was launched in New York.
At the time, Barca said the office's aim was to serve as a "commercial hub for generating new revenue and implementing the strategic plan for the 2016-2021 period, one of the main targets of which is to achieve a turnover of €1 billion."

Here is the Florida school. As you can see at the bottom and on all of them they are franchised and not owned by the club.

Any girls get any communication from this organization about next season? Anyone even get a polite no thank you?
They could better maintain the fan base and jersey sales with some communication instead of nothing at all.

Although Barça has separated this academy from all the others listed in this article, which are actually FCBescolas, there is no question they are here to cash checks. What isn't clear is whether or not the byproduct of all of this is great training for our kids and in a rare instance, a chance for a few truly gifted players to do something spectacular.
