The BVB-IA Great Plains region includes Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Iowa and Missouri. We work directly with BVB International Academy - America to facilitate its Regional and National ID camps which gives our players the opportunity to train with staff from the BVB Academy in Germany with the purpose of identifying players who may have the potential to one day play with BVB Youth Academy teams in Germany. 

ID camps held here regionally and nationally also create further exposure for our players to college coaches and beyond. These incredible opportunities are the same for both girls and boys, and BVB is currently increasing their efforts to scout and identify young talent for both regional and national events across the U.S. We are pioneering amazing new opportunities for our players!

BVB means Ballspiel-Verein Borussia (that's German for Borussia club for ball games). The correct club name is "BV Borussia 09 e.V. Dortmund", with "09" pointing to 1909, the year of the club's founding.
