The return to the roots: A departure for the Rhein-Neckar Löwen

On July 22nd, a press conference of the Rhein-Neckar Löwen took place in Kronau, which marks the start of the new handball season. The focus was on overcoming the challenges from last season and the common goal of returning "to Löwen-Handball". Before the assembled media representatives, not only the players, but also the new responsible persons were motivated and full of drive.

A new course under the direction of Uwe Gensheimer

Uwe Gensheimer, who did not appear as a player that day, but as a sporting director, made it clear that the future course of the lion should be based on a strong and creative play. "We want to go back to lion handball," he said, demanding that the team should develop their full potential in the coming season. Head coach Sebastian Hinze also supported this view and emphasized the importance of a flexible and speed -based defense.

Challenges and opportunities: Energy for the new beginning

The past season was a “sporty roller coaster ride” for many players, including captain Patrick Groetzki. Groetzki mentioned the relief, despite the injury -related challenges, to be able to go into training again. The long summer break was not only good for the players, but also the entire organization. Latest team members such as Tim Nothdurft, who moved from the Bergisches HC to the lions, are also ready to bring a breath of fresh air to the team and to strengthen the community.

Preparation for the new season: Test games for location determination

The importance of well -founded preparation was also addressed. In the first week of August, the team is put to the test in several test games. These games should use to test the new structure of the team. Sebastian Hinze explained that early test games should help to quickly identify deficits and to work specifically on them. He emphasized: "It is important that as soon as you wear the lion logo on your chest, the players give everything on the handball field."

Community and Commitment: A strong team for the upcoming challenges

The atmosphere at the press conference reflected the team spirit. Managing Director Holger Bachert had given everything despite travel problems to be part of the PK. His commitment is an expression of the determined will of the entire organization to proactively face the upcoming challenges of the season. "The entire Löwen team and the environment share the passion and commitment that distinguish this association," said Gensheimer and made it clear that the return to the Löwen handball is more than just a declaration of war-it is a request for community and for joint success.
