School Pro Training Football Tour to Borussia Dortmund

A school football tour to Borussia Dortmund is a unique footballing experience that your team will remember for the rest of their lives. The club’s youth academy has a fantastic reputation, with graduates including Mario Götze, Marco Reus and Kevin Großkreutz.

On a school football tour to Borussia Dortmund, your team will enjoy a full day at the club. After receiving your official training kit and welcome briefing, you'll enjoy two training sessions delivered by the club’s top youth coaches.

Later that day (once you've had a chance to freshen up), you’ll be able to visit Germany’s biggest stadium, the Westfalenstadion, and take in the impressive, interactive Borusseum.

You'll also have the opportunity to test your skills against local opposition in a friendly fixture. And to round off this unforgettable tour in the most magical way, you'll spend a whole day at the incredible Phantasialand theme park.
