Germany junior open

Profile

Germany in general has not been as strong on the international circuit as in years past. But they always have new young players developing and a good spirit about themselves. This year should prove no different. With Endzonis the Mixed team in the North providing a new avenue for teams, Germany hopes to build itself into a competitive international team and the success of the juniors will help.

German Juniors finished third at the EUC in 2003 and fourth at Worlds 2000 in Heilbronn. The underseeded Americans and up and coming Australians should provide challenges to their fourth seed here.

Whenever the smaller juniors players exasperate the taller and more experienced players. This happened in a training game against the German Mixed Team: Christoph (height: about 160cm) laid the disc over Rü’s (height: about 2 meters) shoulder to make a great breakmark pass. How? Look out for our team and you’ll see…
