"Rehearsal with new coach at Harburg happening on Saturday at Kersche"
In the heart of August, SG Harburg is gearing up for the crucial phase of their season with a traditional preparation tournament in the Kersche. This weekend, the team will face off against various opponents, including HSG Seevetal-Ashausen, SG Wilhelmsburg, and other unnamed teams.
The tournament, which commences on Saturday, August 24, will see games starting from 11 am at the Sporthalle Kerschensteiner Straße. This event, free for all spectators, marks the beginning of the competitive phase of SG Harburg's 2024/25 season.
SG Harburg's men's handball team is starting the new season under the guidance of a new coach, Daniel Wendt. Wendt's goals for the Landesliga season are to stabilise the team in the league and develop a strong, competitive playing style to improve their standing.
Meanwhile, Sascha "Sushi" Sondermann, who has previously coached women's teams, steps into his first coaching position for a men's team. Sondermann, 42 years old, has played in the 3rd league in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The athletes of SG Harburg have been preparing for the 2024/25 season since early June. Sondermann's primary objective is to help the team achieve a better ranking than last year and improve their performance in defense, reducing the number of goals they concede.
This tournament serves as a dress rehearsal for the new season, providing an opportunity for the team to test their strategies and teamwork before the official matches begin. The preparation for SG Harburg is taking place in the Landesliga, a crucial part of their preparation for the upcoming season.
As the countdown to the new season begins, SG Harburg is ready to face the challenges ahead with renewed vigour and determination. The preparation tournament in the Kersche is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the team.
Alongside handball, other sports like football may also be showcased during the preparation tournament in the Kersche, considering SG Harburg's reputation for fielding multiple teams across various sporting disciplines. As the team readies for the 2024/25 season, their new coach, Daniel Wendt, has set his sights not only on stabilising the handball team in the league but also developing a competitive playing style that can improve their standing, potentially including football teams, if incorporated.
