Marcel Koulibaly: New Guard and youth coordinator at the Chiemgau Baskets

Chiemgau Baskets rely on experience and youth promotion

The Chiemgau Baskets, a basketball club from Traunstein, have signed an experienced new addition to the upcoming regional league season 2024/25 with Marcel Koulibaly. The 33-year-old player will not only refine the team structures as a guard, but will also be active as a youth coordinator and trainer. This shows the clear commitment of the association for the promotion of young talents.

A look at Marcel Koulibaly

Koulibaly comes from the Aschersleben Tigers from the 1st Regionalliga Nord and has a comprehensive experience both as a player and coach. With his height of 1.83 meters, it is primarily expected as a point and shooting guard in the team. In parallel to his player career, he will take responsibility for youth work in the club by looking after various age groups and bringing valuable impulses as part of Junior Camps.

How will Marcel Koulibaly support the team?

The Chiemgau Baskets expect Koulibaly to play an important role in the building game and on the defensive. Department manager Franz Buchenrieder emphasizes that he not only reinforces the back court, but also acts as a mentor for the young players. The combination of his play and trainer experience enables him to set decisive accents in player development. His commitment is particularly emphasized in the context of the Chiemgau Academy, where he will shape talent promotion together with other trainers.

Nina Koulibaly as an important addition

Another win for the Chiemgau Baskets is the obligation of Marcel Koulibaly's wife, Nina, who will work as a trainer in the mini area. With her experience as a state -recognized educator, she brings additional skills to the club, which should significantly increase the quality of the coaching work for the youngest basketball players. The couple will thus work together to promote the development of young athletes in Traunstein.

a positive environment for youth players

Marcel Koulibaly is enthusiastic about the atmosphere at the club, which impressed him last year. The focus on youth promotion and the continuous development of the association play a central role in its decision to join the Chiemgau Baskets. In particular, the Academy of Traunsteiners sees it as a great advantage to guarantee individual support for the players.

The upcoming challenges

The coaching couple already has the first tasks in front of them: the Junior Camp from September 6th to 8th and the Alps Cup, a tournament with four teams, on September 28th and 29th. In addition, the Regio-2 season on October 12 begins with a home game against MTV 1879 Munich. These events are not only important for team preparation, but also for the establishment of a strong community within the association and its supporters.

Overall, the Chiemgau Baskets show a clear path with the commitment of Marcel and Nina Koulibaly to strengthen the team for the upcoming challenges and at the same time promote youth promotion in the region. The commitment to a positive development is a step towards a promising future in basketball for Traunstein.
