Neustadt in sports fever: U18 team challenges Duisburg and Bochum!

The U18 team of SC Neustadt will compete in the U18 Bundesliga B group next weekend. The games take place on Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m. First, the team will compete against the group favorite Duisburg, followed by an encounter with Bochum. These competitions are an important opportunity for the young talents to prove themselves in the league. Youth coach Peter Jacqué faces special challenges, since he first had to deal with the excitement of a fire near his apartment, such as Rheinpfalz.de reported.

The SC Neustadt has a long tradition in water polo. The association is not only a founding member of the Wasserball Bundesliga, but is also one of the established teams in Germany. The first team has been playing in the 1st Bundesliga for many years. His greatest achievement was the move into the cup final of the German Swim Association in 1998 when the team under the direction of Captain Andrzej Szurkiewicz wrote history in the Neustadt Stadiumbad.

focus on the youth

In recent years, SC Neustadt has put a strong focus on youth work. The association promotes its own talent and has a U18 team that became German runner-up in 2021. The final round also took place in the stadium pool and contributed to the positive development of the young players. Trainer Peter Jacqué was elected coach of the year by the State Sports Association of Rhineland-Palatinate in 2021.

The youth teams of SC Neustadt regularly took part in the South German Championship and were often found in the races for the German championship. This is also evident in the number of youth national players that the association has produced. Among them is, for example, Moritz Oeler, who plays as the captain of the German national team.

invitation to participate

Currently the SC Neustadt teams in all age groups and invites newcomers to try water polo. This underlines the commitment of the association to create a broad basis for water ball sport and to inspire the young people for this fascinating sport. SC Neustadt is therefore not only a place for talented players, but also a room for everyone who is interested in the water polo.
