Growing up in Spain was great for Andre Bly Jr.. His mother had him play many sports as a child, but it became apparent that soccer was Bly's favorite out of all of them. When he was 8, he was able to play with the U-9 Barcelona soccer club, a club specific for those looking to have a career on the soccer pitch. He eventually graduated into the U-12 team and played there for 3 years. He was a very good forward for the team and was ultimately the deciding factor in many of their games, often scoring multiple goals in each game. However, his coach never put him in on defense because Andre would lose interest fast if he did not find himself in a position to potentially score the ball every time he touched it. This eventually led to his downfall and not making it onto the u-15 squad after graduating from the U-12 team. He likes to tell everyone that he quit beforehand and that he could still match-up with his peers if he ever did make the switch back. a month later, his mother decided to move back to the United States to live with Andre's father, and that was the end of Andre's soccer career. he still makes it to some Barcelona matches and is always invited by Lionel Messi to join him during their celebrity soccer matches each year.
