Our popular holiday courses are just around the corner, and the team at the academy have been working particularly hard this year to get everything ready for the start of training. We're delighted that our courses are able to take place with certain hygiene measures in place. We always keep an eye on the Corona regulations specific to each federal state, and we guarantee to inform you about new developments every two weeks. There are still a few places available on our upcoming summer holiday courses. It is still possible to register through our Onlineshop. 

It goes without saying that fun, intense and educational training sessions remain at the top of the academy's agenda. However, there are still certain rules that must be observed. Contact training is permitted once more in North Rhine-Westphalia and some other federal states, and will form part of our programme for courses held in these regions. Participation in one of our courses is bound by certain conditions. For example, the participant must not show any symptoms of illness. Thanks to newly set-up waiting and check-in areas, we will be able to comply with the 1.5 metre social distancing limits at check-in.  The changing rooms and shower areas will remain closed, and all course participants should turn up to sessions in their football kit. The pre-reserved training kit will be issued during the first day of the course.

Parents and guardians may observe the training sessions in Dortmund provided they give their contact details for the purpose of traceability. However, the overall capacity at the training facility is limited. Facemasks must be worn at all times in the facility, although this understandably does not apply to course participants during training sessions. We have sufficient hand disinfectant dispensers to ensure hygiene measures can be respected at all times. Our stadium tours, which are included in the course package, will also be adapted and conducted in line with the new concept. Rest assured that our spacious facility provides the perfect conditions for the implementation and maintenance of the hygiene plan. We look forward to having your enthusiastic young footballers take over the training ground. At a safe distance, of course! 

One week before the course starts, all participants will receive an information document detailing the exact course schedule as well as an overview of our hygiene regulations on and off the pitch! We will make sure to inform you should further alterations be made to one of our particularly popular courses. Help us to run the courses in the best way possible by discussing all the special rules and regulations with your child in advance.

Together, for the well-being of your young footballers!
