The handball teams in Bavaria have a break until the end of December.
But what happens after that?
We asked around at the district associations.
district
- Handball will be suspended in Bavaria at least until the end of the year.
The association made this decision recently.
Due to the November lockdown, games in December were not possible because the clubs wanted to give at least four weeks of preparation time.
The report came as little surprise to the clubs in the district.
"I was sure of that," said Simon Klawe, women's coach at HSG Freising-Neufahrn: "Without training in November, the risk of injury would otherwise have been far too great." : “I think that we can train in small groups at most in December.
For me, the start of the season before February is unlikely. ”In November there is a weekly schedule for the Bayern League squad.
Ten kilometers of running, plus workouts and online fitness courses are on the program: "The women should keep fit and I want proof of that," emphasizes the trainer.
With the HSG men, trainer Erik Brasko also speaks of the right decision and fears a longer break: "I assume that we won't be allowed to go back into the hall until January and that the season will start again in February at the earliest." Round is then still possible for Brasko: The association should consider whether to forego promotion and relegation.
The competition will not be the same for all clubs. ”He did not give his BOL men any guidelines for the training-free period:“ Everyone should just move around and keep fit at home. ”He trusts the discipline and emphasizes:“ Who does nothing has done, it has a disadvantage when restarting. "

Lukas Monz (coach men SC Eching) would not have expected that the BHV's decision would be “so brutal”: “Every club has its own hygiene concept.
It's just super bitter for us. ”You don't know what point in time you can look forward to:“ It's not clear whether it will continue in January.
Keeping up motivation is difficult. ”Training at home would also be much more difficult to implement in the current weather than during the first lockdown in spring.
Monz demands “It just has to go on in January, in whatever form.
Otherwise the whole thing is a threat to the basis of handball. "In the worst case, people would run off in rows in individual sports:" I saw that with our B-youth, two talents stopped there during Corona. " Away quotients would be an acceptable solution for Monz.
"I expected it, even if it is not right from a handball point of view," said Otto Holländer (Men SG Moosburg) about the decision.
However, he adds: “When looking at the whole thing, it couldn't have turned out otherwise.” Without December training, a start at the beginning of January would not be possible for him either, and at most there could still be a simple round: “That means distortion of competition, quite fair you can't do it though. ”In November, he put running units for two on the agenda for the players:“ You have to make sure that you don't lose too much stamina.
I have my fullest confidence in that, "emphasizes Holländer:" We have to be in top shape at the start, with a reduced schedule you mustn't allow yourself to slip up. "
Peter Heun, the Kirchdorfer women's coach, would have expected that this decision will be made earlier: “Of course it's stupid.
But you don't even know whether it can start again in January. "The Kirchdorf women don't have their own hall:" So it is unclear when we can train again.
A lead time of four weeks is definitely necessary. ”The SCK women would take part in a simple round that lasts until the end of April, says Heun:“ But if it should go to June or even July, then we'll think about whether we shouldn't Better to withdraw. ”After all, many women had already planned something other than handball during these months.
The Kirchdorf women are currently keeping fit with joint online exercises, organizing them independently via Zoom or other platforms.

The handball players from SVA Palzing currently have a time when they don't practice, as coach Lutz-Steffen Schmidt says: "We have been training since mid-July, so taking a break is really good." He is currently working on a few fun, team-oriented exercises for the second part of the lockdown.
The break until the end of the year was anything but unexpected for him and also made sense: "Now we have to see how the corona numbers develop." The time is getting tighter, according to Schmidt, going in the Palzinger League (district class) at a start In theory, another full round in mid-January: “That is certainly not the case in other leagues and the BHV probably wants a uniform regulation.” Therefore, at the SVA, one would accept a simple round: “It would be just nice if we be allowed to play again. ”Preferably with promotion, otherwise it would be a lost year for Palzing after the restart of the women's team, which was just started this season.
