FALLS CHURCH, Va. - BVB International Academy PAC Northern Virginia welcomed Markus Pasdzior for a three-day visit, September 17-19, bringing Borussia Dortmund's training approach directly to our players and coaches.

The visit began with Thursday training at Luther Jackson Middle School. At the club's training sessions, players worked on the field while coaches had the chance to see the BVB approach up close. Saturday brought more training and game-day time before Markus continued to another BVBIA affiliate in Maryland.

For our club, the value was in the shared work: players learning on the field, coaches exchanging ideas, and families seeing the link between their local academy and the wider BVBIA network. Thank you to Markus for spending the week with us, and to the coaches and families who made it possible.
