The German Women’s Junior U20 team will be very well prepared for the World
Championship in Thailand having used a number of pre-tournament training
courses to get them into the perfect frame of mind. Moreover, all of the team
bar two, played in the first league of the 2002/2003 season as the team of VC
Olympia Sinsheim.

The result and the effort of coach Rudi Sonnenbichler and his team was
excellent. During the preliminary round they recorded five victories,
including a 3-1 win over USC Münster, who were unbeaten until that game.

The whole project was a brain child of the German Volleyball Federation in
order to assist Germany’s rising players through a smoother transition to
international Volleyball.

So far the results have been encouraging with the team looking to have gelled
well and displayed a keen spirit to impress at the World Championship.
