Germany - VBL 1. Bundesliga 2025/26

Quote from Matthias

I agree that making the rosters that early is quite problematic, but it happens everywhere nowadays At least one article says that now that Dresden qualified for CL they try to collect more money in order to be able to sign a 13th player.

I guess Ziegenbalg as 4th OH will be ok if the other three (Lorber Fijok, Kuipers and ?) are decent. As for MB, is Mette Pfeffer even still better than Florentine Rosemann from Dresden's youth? Based on their performances in junior NT last year I thought Rosemann seemed more talented overall

Pfeffer finishes school this year. So she has to leave VCO Dresden. I guess. So it's more likely Dresden will sign her. Maybe Rosemann can get a license for both leagues.

I'd say both are on a pretty same level. Pfeffer seems to be a better blocker, Rosemann a better attacker.

One of Stuttgart's main sponsors Scharr leaked that Reesink will indeed go to Schwerin

It says: "Dutch NT libero Florien Reesink leaves Stuttgart after one season and joins SSC Palmberg Schwerin".

Terrible transfer IMO

The sponsor wasn't even able to spell her name correctly in the picture...

If it's true, it's definitely a downgrade for Schwerin compared to Pogany and Llabres in previous years. But who knows, maybe it's not such a bad thing for Reesink that expectations are low. Then she can surprise positively,

If she's gonna be the first libero, then it's a good transfer move (from her side)

Felix wants to develop her for Dutch NT.

In the steps of Giovanni…

Spanish OH Cayetana Lopez Rey from Vilsbiburg to VC Wiesbaden. They also announced that Marlene Rieger will be part of the Bundesliga team next season after helping out already this season.

Oh damn I didn't see your post...

Good transfer in my eyes for Wiesbaden. I watched 2-3 games with her in the 2nd League Pro and I trust her to put in a solid performance in the Bundesliga.

Quote from avid

She was very good in Puerto Rico (but also Puerto Rico lol) and then got injured and missed the end of the playoffs. I think she was inactive most of the summer.

I'd like to see Kara McGhee in Europe. She was supposed to go to Nancy but had some sort of clerical issue and never went. She went to Puerto Rico again.

Both were pretty solid in PR. McGhee is playing the finals right now. I like them.

Rēzija Mazure-Mago is reportedly moving to the Polish league. Does anyone know which club this is??

Did someone hear something about Emma Grome? Could she be someone for Dresden?

She had a good season in PR as well. Solid setter.

Because she's still listed with a question mark. It was announced a few days ago that Rosa Entius is leaving USC Münster.

Since the last matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga Pro, it has been clear that Meghan Barthel will be the new setter for the ESA Grimma Volleys in the 2025/26 season after her stint by the Ladies in Black.

The SSC website now also contains information about the leaving players. As far as I know, Marie Hänle will play in the 2nd Italian league.

Used some Google translate, but Pimpichaya "expected to stay in Europe"?! I'd love it

Seemingly almost the only option for German oppossites (Berger, Große Scharmann, Weske) 😂😂

Probably a bit off topic but does anyone know if they can earn more money in the 2nd italian league than in a mid level german club?
