Rhein-Main Rockets Make History: U15 Flag Football Champions Again
The Rhein-Main Rockets Offenbach e.V. have made history, winning the European Youth Championships in Flag Football for the second time. The German team, led by their coach, secured the title in the U15 mixed class, remaining undefeated throughout the tournament held in Belgrade from September 6th to 8th, 2024.
The team's journey was nothing short of remarkable. They started the tournament strong and maintained their momentum, culminating in a final victory against a team from the UK. This triumph is even more impressive considering the team finished fifth in the previous year's competition.
The Rockets' success can be attributed to their dedicated coach, Frank Grimm, who also led the U13 mixed team. Under his guidance, the U15 team flourished, with three of his players - Ewa Aichholz, Ildiko Prinz, and Elva Siebenlist - making significant contributions to the winning team.
The Rhein-Main Rockets Offenbach e.V. have proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with in European youth flag football. Their second European Championship title in the U15 mixed class is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the exceptional coaching of Frank Grimm. The team's impressive rise from fifth place to champions in just one year is a true testament to their skills and determination.
