The trainers fear that the risk of injury would be too great if you started again quickly.
District - For a long time the handball clubs were in the dark.
Can the season go on after all?
In view of the political requirements and the uncertainty regarding a possible resumption of play, the Bavarian Handball Association has now made a final decision: The 2020/2021 season will be declared over for all classes.
The 2021/2022 season will be played with the composition as of September 18, 2020.
All clubs will stay in their leagues with the hopefully possible restart in autumn this year.
How do the district associations see the process?
There was a laughing and a crying eye from Peter Mesiarik, the coach of the Altenerdinger Landesliga-Herren: “The whole thing is of course sad for the entire amateur sport.
Still, quitting is a wise decision.
Now we know where we stand. ”It would have been difficult to continue after the month-long break:“ The players are not fit and there is no feeling of the ball. When they are on the field, of course, everyone wants to give 100 percent, and there would be a great risk of injury. "
With his young national league team, all men will probably stay on board, and the Altenerdinger coach says: "Hopefully we can train again soon and then prepare for the coming season in peace."
TSV Wartenberg was not very surprised by the association's decision.
Press spokeswoman Andrea Angermaier says: “We had all expected that, at least in our classes, things would not go on.” The women's team took the whole thing with a certain form of gallows humor: “After our first promotion to the district league, we can now say that we didn't get down straight away. "
Training again in April or May, that would be the wish in Wartenberg.
Especially to keep the youth on the line, as Angermaier explains: “We had good youth work for years.
Now the female A-youth is moving towards the women, so the cut is of course anything but ideal. "
The handball players at TSV Taufkirchen / Vils had hoped for a half-season until the end, as department head Gerhard Mühlenbeck emphasized: "Unfortunately, the lockdowns had piled up, and we slowly realized that it would no longer work." The termination was also logical, so Mühlenbeck continues: “The numbers are falling.
But if the athletes drive all over Bavaria now, there is a risk that it will rise again. "
Nevertheless, the disappointment is great in Taufkirchen, and especially among the youth there is a fear of bloodletting: “Hopefully most of the young players will come back.
We won't see how big the losses are until we get the team reports. ”In general, ending the laps and restarting at the old level is the only sensible decision, says Gerhard Mühlenbeck.
Nadi Özdemir, sporting director of SpVgg Altenenerding, is “glad that there is now clarity.
The clubs were in limbo for a very long time ”.
For some time there was a tournament form for the regional league as a way of achieving a rating: “I wouldn't have liked that.” Of course, they wanted to compete, and the end would be a shame for everyone: “But there was no possibility now.
Let's just forget about this lap and look ahead. "
In Altenerding there is hope that the players will be able to go back into the hall before the summer, at least to train: “After all, we are all rusty and we really want to meet again,” said the sports director.
Incidentally, Ingrid Schuhbauer was in the middle of the decision as Vice President Gaming Operations.
She emphasizes: "The decision was made unanimously by the extended presidium, there was no discussion at all." Only a few games would have taken place, so an evaluation in whatever form would not have been possible: "Only voluntary relegations will be possible. "
