00:00I can tell you one thing that they told me when they came to Trinidad.
00:04They said that our players, with the ball on their feet,
00:08it's the best they've seen across all across the North America region.
00:13The North American players tend to be a little bit more structured,
00:16a little bit more disciplined.
00:17They pass the ball a lot.
00:19Trinidad and Tobago players, they're actually quite skillful.
00:30Only kids who are part of the BVBIA Caribbean Academy system have this opportunity.
00:55But the School of Excellence actually offers even more.
01:00As part of that Academy system, from the time you're age 15 and up,
01:04the Scouts arrive several times during the year,
01:07and they come to look for kids to offer them scholarships
01:13to attend university or college in the United States.
01:17And we're very happy to say that one Trinidad National,
01:21a girl who's not here with us today, she's at school abroad at the moment,
01:24she's been offered a scholarship to attend school in the United States.
01:35Players experience a once-in-a-lifetime immersion,
01:38which includes being picked up at the airport in Frankfurt by the senior team bus
01:43and driven into Dortmund.
01:45Training sessions at the official BVB training grounds,
01:49friendly matches versus BVB academy teams and professional players,
01:54a match day experience in a Bundesliga game at the Signal Iduna Park,
01:59which is the home ground for Borussia Dortmund.
02:01You will be part of that.
02:02And, of course, cultural excursions across Dortmund and North Rhine, West Palfia.
02:13I feel so amazing.
02:15This is a huge opportunity for me, and I'm going to embrace it all that I could.
02:19Well, I feel it's a very good opportunity and experience for me
02:36to see all the other kids and challenges out there
02:39and how far to put myself to them and stuff.
02:44I'm going to embrace it all because I'm here at the same time.
02:50Now, I'm going to...
02:51family app colleges for these kids.
02:54These kids were maybe not as good as you can.
02:57So, you can see all of the kids and family.
02:59Hey, you're not?
03:01And you're not!
03:02You're not!
03:02You're not!
