Häfeli’s first home game against former team Hamburg
The twelve-fold German Champions RSV Lahn-Dill will start into the 2016/2017 season on the weekend of the 8th/9th of October in an away game against FCK Rolling Devils. Only one week later the first home game will be against top-team BG Baskets Hamburg at August-Bebel-Sporthalle Wetzlar, on the 15th of October.
„The start into the new season is not going to be easy for us, with the Paralympics finishing so late and the majority of the players needing a regenerative break afterwards. This will make the preparation very difficult of course.“ Head-Coach Nicolai Zeltinger is very aware of the obstacles that lie ahead. RSV-Captain Michael Paye, Women’s National Player Annabel Breuer, and Thomas Böhme, Nico Dreimüller, Jan Haller, Christopher Huber, Dirk Köhler, and Björn Lohmann, there will be eight RSV players hoping to be participate in the XV. Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The first home game on the 15th of October will be a special one particularly for new player Phillip Häfeli. The Swiss National Player will be playing his first home game in RSV-colours against his former Hamburg team. All dates of the new season can be found at www.rsvlahndill.de.
