Ronja Hark plays in the women's Bundesliga for ECDC Memmingen.

With the team, the defender reached the qualification for the final tournament for the DM title ahead of schedule.

In January 2020, the Hohenfurcherin had a great success with the U18 national team: At the World Cup tournament of the IA Division in Füssen, the Germans took first place - thus making it into the top group.

The U18 world championship of the best teams, scheduled for January 2021, has been canceled due to Corona.
