​

OUR STORY

​

Our academy was born from the strong bond between Albert Portas, Carlos Portas, and their coach, Isaac García, at La Masia. Isaac coached Albert for two years, and despite going separate ways—Albert and Carlos to the U.S. and Isaac continuing as a coach in Spain—they stayed connected. Like many friendships that last across distances, Isaac reached out with an idea: to bring La Masia’s elite training to young players in the U.S. Together, they founded the academy, aiming to inspire the next generation both on and off the field.

P4SA Methodology

​

P4SA’s methodology focuses on the 4 P’s and was inspired by La Masia’s strategic approach to training. These key focuses are endorsed by Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez as key areas young players should develop as they advance to higher levels of play.

​

• Possession means controlling the ball to move forward and defend, taking the lead away from the other team.

• Pressure is about quickly getting the ball back.

• Position refers to being well-placed with sufficient space and time to optimally perform actions.

• Perception means being able to see teammates, opponents, our team, and the other side, and knowing when to act and when not to.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
