Juventus F.C. Youth Sector
Juventus F.C. Youth Sector () is the youth set-up of Juventus Football Club. The Youth Sector is made up of various squads divided by age groups. All the Youth Sector squads currently train at the club's main training ground, "Juventus Center", located at the piedmontese village of Vinovo (14 km at southwest of Turin). In August 2007 the Juventus Under-19 team were runner-up in the inaugural edition of the Champions Youth Cup in Malaysia, intended to be a Club World Championship powered by G-14 and hold the best defence of the tournament with only  two goals conceded in six matches. 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 (run jointly with the 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. Juventus College. The "Juventus College" (J-College) was opened in September 2012 and is a boarding school founded mainly to cater to boys who do not reside within the city. Initially it founded as a collaboration with the Istituto Edoardo Agnelli, a high school founded by the Agnelli family's charitable foundation in collaboration with the Salesians, who have a long tradition and history of education in Turin. Since 2014, J-College has been overseen by the International School of Europe. Previously the boys, especially those from outside of the Turin area, would have to drop out of  school and move there in order to avoid uprooting their entire family. J-College was modeled after Premier League clubs' youth academies, which cater to the educational needs of its youth players under age eighteen in addition to providing lodging for non-local players. J-College is an accredited "scuola secondaria di secondo grado" ("upper secondary school", ages 14 to 18) with two streams: a "liceo scientifico" offering the "applied sciences" option ("opzione scienze applicate") and the "liceo sportivo". Since 2014, it has been designated a "liceo sportivo" (sports school), the first of its kind in Italy, by the Ministry  of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It also provides practical vocational training for the youth sector players past the mandatory schooling age of 16, in particular older boys in the "Primavera" age group. History. Despite an extensive international scouting network, the club has historically placed importance on nurturing local talent and continues to do so. One proof of this is the fact of the Italian national team, coached by Enzo Bearzot during the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, was mainly composed of young Juventus players -nicknamed the "Blocco-Juve" ("Juve-Block"), the backbone of the Italian squad - like Roberto Bettega, Giuseppe Furino  - two of the five Juventus players with most appearances and also two of the Italian footballers to have won more "scudetti"- and Paolo Rossi, "Adidas Golden Shoe", "Adidas Golden Ball" and world champion in 1982 and European Footballer of the Year in the same year; them all former members at the Juventus youth program (then known as "Nucleo Addestramento Giovani Calciatori" or N.A.G.C.). Graduates of the youth sector continue to ply their trade in other Serie A clubs and top-flight leagues around Europe. More recently the 2012-13 Scudetto-winning squad featured Paolo De Ceglie, second vice-captain Claudio  Marchisio, Sebastian Giovinco and Luca Marrone; the latter three were born and raised in the Turin area. The "Primavera" team also celebrated winning the 2012 Torneo di Viareggio, their most recent win, which ties them with Milan for the second most successful team (8 titles). Squads. The Youth Sector, according to the Italian football league system, is divided into six squads: 'Primavera', 'Berretti', 'Allievi', 'Giovanissimi', 'Esordienti' and 'Pulcini'. Section::::'Primavera' Squad. The Primavera Squad is the Juventus football team composed of footballers between 15 and 20 years old. According to Italian Football's hierarchy, it is the main youth category and  is thus above the 'Berretti' squad. Each season, the 'Primavera' squad is the experimental group for the trial and/or promotion of the future members of the first team before the beginning of the Serie A season. Players deemed ready for first team football are registered and given a first team squad number. The team currently competes in the Italian Primavera TIM Championship. They are the fourth team in Italy with the most titles in the Primavera Championship and the third team -join to Roma and Atalanta- for number of victories in the Italian Youth Cup.
