Quote from flyingdutchman

At Dresdner SC-website is written about a 1-year-contract for Myrthe There is written only about replacing Mathes during upcoming season.

I can imagine that Tzscherlich retiring after the season is not "official" yet. Maybe it's a 1+1 year contract with option for the 2nd year...

Lenka Dürr is the new captain of Vilsbiburg, but as liberos are not allowed to be captain in matches, Lena Möllers will be the "match captain".
In Schwerin, Denise Hanke will be the new captain

It's nice to see the young players from NT taking responsibility in their club teams

According to a Romanian website (see The 2012-2013 Transfer News ), Schwerin's American OH Meagan Ganzer signed for Tomis Constanta. It's strange because last week she played training matches with Schwerin vs Finnish NT and posted a picture from Schwerin in her Twitter account, so I don't know what to think of this news Maybe Schwerin was not satisfied with her performance or anything and dissolved the contract, that's the only reasonable explanation I can think of, but I guess we'll have to wait for an official news...

This weekend, Suhl and Potsdam will play two friendly matches against each other. Potsdam is still missing Cutuk and Fresco who are with their NTs and also Suhl is not complete yet, Kalinovskaya is with Belarus NT and I don't know if Dozier has already arrived there...

Allianz MTV Stuttgart is having a joint training with Volero Zürich over the weekend. The teams also played a training match on Friday, there are two short videos of it:

Quote from Raven

As some of you already read on some websites, setter Antonela Curatola signed a contract with Rote Raben Vilsbiburg.

Good transfer

Nadja Gallardo (Jenzewski) will play in Vilsbiburg's 2nd team right?

Even though there still is no info directly from Schwerin, a Romanian newspaper reports that Meagan Ganzer is in Constanta since last weekend and signed a contract, it says she was negotiating with Schwerin but signed for Constanta eventually. Schwerin's reports some weeks ago sounded like she had signed for them
Schwerin really needs to find at least 1-2 very good players for their team for next season or they won't defend their titles. Last weekend they played a show match against a male team from Brandenburg, on those photos I saw that Maja Pachale was playing as Opp, though I have no idea if that means she will return to the team.

Quote from Nirk

Leonie Schwertmann and Alisha Ossowski will play for first team of USC Münster next season...

I just saw that Sarah Petrausch is listed as Opp on Münster's homepage...I really don't think this will work out well for her Even as OH she was much better in reception than in attack, so I can't imagine her doing a good job as Opp...

Suhl is still looking for a good OH, they had some candidates in training in the last weeks but none of them was suitable eventually...

Thanks for the video

So Maja Pachale played only because some players were missing due to NT or illnesses. Schwerin is still searching for 1-2 good players for the season.

A first team photo of Schwerin:

Does anyone happen to recognise Nr 4? Her face looks vaguely familiar but I cannot remember who it is, it might either be a new player or somebody from their 2nd team...it's not Meagan Ganzer though.

Lucia Hatinova, ex SVK NT middleblocker

Riiiiiiight, I knew that I saw that face before, thanks

So it's possible that she will play in Schwerin, maybe she was only there for tryout trainings though, but Teun Buijs said some time ago he'd look for another MB with international experience. Hatinova played in Vilsbiburg many years ago when she was around 18 years old...
