Preparation for the new season of VC Wiesbaden is progressing. The members of the newly formed team are busy getting in good shape, because on September 28, 2024 the first game begins in the 1st Volleyball Bundesliga women. On this day, the team will meet SSC Palmberg Schwerin in the Palmberg Arena.

In the past four weeks, the focus was on intensive athletics and ball training. On Wednesday, August 28th, there was a first test against the German champion, the Allianz MTV Stuttgart. The Wiesbadeners showed what they had learned so far in a number of training rates. In the changing heat of the hall in Terville, France, a game was won 3-1, which the team had as valuable experience.

intensive preparation and trainer instructions

The chief coach Benedikt Frank was positive about the training: "In such a encounter, a lot is naturally tried on both sides. You can see heights and depths." The pressure to play against such a strong opponent is important for his players to further develop their training services. "We have already shown some nice combinations," said Frank and was happy about the progress that the team made during this early phase of the season.

The team consisted of several international players on Wednesday, including the foreign attackers Tanja Große and Olivia Rusek as well as the diagonal attackers Celine Jebens and Anneclaire Ter Brugge. Young talents from the second women's team, like the 17-year-old middle blocker Marlene Rieger, were also able to gain experience in the field. The coaches kept taking the opportunity for strategic breaks to give instructions and train the team.

The use of Gréta Kiss was particularly exciting, which recently switched from SC Potsdam to VC Wiesbaden. Die Außenangreiferin hatte zuvor für die ungarische Nationalmannschaft gespielt und war erst am Dienstag nach Frankfurt zurückgekehrt. In Terville, she also met former teammates, which also loosened up the encounter. Another interesting aspect is the absence of middle blocker Nina Herelová, which is in construction training after a cruciate ligament tear.

organizational challenges

in the office of VC Wiesbaden, the summer break was anything but quiet. The managing director Christopher Fetting reported extensive preparations for the 2024/2025 season. These concern not only scouting and contract negotiations, but also the cooperation with sponsors and the management of travel arrangements. The elaborate licensing by the Volleyball Bundesliga is a major challenge that the club has to face.

The entire preparations are crucial for success in the coming season. Fetting emphasized the importance of gaining new sponsors and stabilizing the financial basis of the association. "We know that we have moved the Wiesbaden location into the international spotlight last season. Our goal is to continue to build on this success," he said.

For the fans of VC Wiesbaden, exciting months are imminent in which the team is facing the beginning of the season. Finally, three significant preparation tournaments and several intensive training games are planned. The first game against SSC Palmberg Schwerin will be the first big test for the team.

The anticipation for the new season is growing, and the players are ready to wear the green player jerseys with the upcoming challenges. Certainly the path will not always be easy, but with strong preparation in the back, VC Wiesbaden could call up remarkable services in the coming season.
