“The benefit for the club is it provides a pathway for each individual player to reach their full potential within the club. Both boys and girls will have the opportunity to participate on several levels. All players will play with their local teams (during the school year), then at the select level they can play locally, regionally, or even nationally through BVBIA,” Kryzak said. “Additionally, players can be selected for the National pool via visits from BVB coaches. This will give them the experience and challenge players to improve their mentality and desire to become better players.
“Coaches will have the opportunity to go to Germany, integrate into the BVB academy, and gain experience by learning from some of the best coaches in Europe, bringing that knowledge and expertise back to the club. BVB coaches will also run summer camps for our players and work with our coaching on the coaching methodology they use in their very own academy.”
