In cooperation with the BVB youth performance centre, the highly popular "Talent Day" took place once more in the 2018/2019 season. Almost 750 football-mad kids were able to put their skills to the test across several locations.

Whether it was in Münster, Bocholt, Moers or Dortmund, the aspiring young footballers gave it their absolute all out on the pitch. Afterwards, the licensed BVB coaching team invited all those who demonstrated a particular aptitude with the ball to attend a trial training session given as part of the advanced courses offered by the academy. The decentralised performance-related training in the advanced and advanced courses is currently held by the coaches of the BVB Evonik football academy at several partner clubs: GSV Moers, 1. FC Bocholt and SC Münster 08, as well as at the Rabenloh training center. Enrollment is only possible after a successful trial session.

The performance courses act as a foundation of the youth academy's work. Training sessions take place in addition to regular club training, while regular matches against our youth academy sides are also organised. The optimal training provided through performance-streamed groups means that many participants in the performance course are able to make the step-up to the BVB youth academy. The date of the 2019/20 ''Talent Day'' will be announced at some point over the summer holidays.
