BSV Roxel and Westfalia Kinderhaus before the start of the association league

The coaches of the BSV Roxel and from Westphalia Children’s Home Both Jörg Levermann and Sven Müller speak of a successful preparation for a season full of question marks and good test performances against higher-class opponents. The regional league is now called Association LeagueFour seasons became three – and in addition to the city derby, which has been characterized by explosiveness and great rivalry for years, the TV Emsdetten Only one familiar face from last year on the duo.

The clover leaves are struggling before their opening match against ASV Hamm-Westphalia minor personnel concerns, as Stefanie Luebke (suspected serious knee injury) and new signing Marlene Schulz (torn ankle ligaments) are two outside players out. Also missing are Clara Dartmann (abroad) and Lisa Vogt-Sommerfeld (profession) for now.

Sometimes sewn on edge

“It will be tight in some games,” says Levermann, who has high hopes for his team after the “super second half of the season.” “We want to secure our place in the league as quickly as possible.” Even though the opponents are almost all new to me and I have no idea who is how strong. That’s why I’m very excited. But we’ve made a good impression in the past few weeks.”

Confidence also registered in Children’s home“We are going into the season without any pressure, but of course we don’t want to play for fifth place,” says Müller, whose team finished third in 2023/24. He is happy that the pivot and key player will stay Caroline Engelhardtwhich was actually about to leave. Emma Monday and Alexandra Lumme, on the other hand, will not return from abroad until early 2025.

Müller: “Squad looks great”

Two additional options have come to Münster at short notice: backcourt players Jenna Gockel (Soester TV/Verbandsliga) and Janna Scheck (SG Narva Berlin/Oberliga). Christina Elvert (most recently PSV Recklinghausen II/Oberliga) took a break last season. Felicitas Neuhaus, like Saskia Horrey and Louisa Schneider before her, moved from Sparta Münster (although from the reserves) to the school center, but tore her cruciate ligament. “Our squad looks great overall,” says Müller. “The new players are developing well.”

Stylistically, he will not change anything fundamental. “More like refinement. We need to be clearer in our defense. After my first season, I now know the strengths and weaknesses of the players better.” Let’s start against the Ahlener SGwhich has undergone a major transformation. Emma Hermes and Lucie Messmann – both were drawn to Westfalia, and Müller has high hopes for both of them.
