The badminton department of TSV Schongau once again has two teams playing. The division is holding an open day on Friday, January 9th.
Schongau – The badminton division of TSV Schongau, BC Alpenpower, has a special attitude. “It’s nice when we win. But we don’t see it so stubbornly,” says player Stefanie Wieland. The TSV team is doing quite well with this. The first team has established itself in district class A, and in district class B the second team has achieved its first point win ever. In order to show what facets the sport of badminton encompasses, the TSV division is organizing an open day on Friday, January 9th.
Even outside of the campaign, new players and those who would like to get back in are always welcome. You can come to the training sessions (on Tuesdays and Fridays). The age structure in the department is broad – the range extends from five-year-olds to players over 70. In the badminton league there are always mixed teams at the start. At least two women and four men play. A match consists of one women’s singles and three men’s singles. There is also a women’s doubles as well as two men’s doubles and a mixed doubles. A total of eight points can be awarded.
Open House
The badminton division invites you Friday, January 9thto an open day. In the sports hall Vocational school center in Schongau (Wilhelm-Köhler-Straße) have children, young people and adults from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m the opportunity to get to know the discipline of badminton, which is played worldwide. Please bring indoor shoes with non-marking soles, something to drink if necessary and – if you have one – your own racket. A limited number of rental clubs are available.
The first team, based in the district class A for the third year, had to struggle with failures and injuries. After the preliminary round, the team is in sixth place, only two points behind fourth-placed TSV Murnau. According to Wieland, relegation should not be an issue.
More draws than the others
Striking: The Schongauers have achieved three draws, more than any other team. Of the three defeats, two – against Kolbermoor/Holzkirchen II and Rosenheim II – were very close at 3:5. Only the confident league leaders Neuried/Würmtal proved to be clearly better, which was reflected in a 0:8. The Schongau team made an exclamation point with their 6-2 win against second-placed TuS Geretsried IV.
A young player has the best individual record in the team: Elias Föhr has won six of his seven games. That puts him in fourth place in the league. This time, the Alpenpower team reacted particularly to the special handicap compared to the other teams – the hall in Schongau is closed until shortly before the start of the league due to the summer holidays – and trained at friendly clubs in Landsberg and Weilheim over the summer.
For the second time in a row, the Schongauers also have a second team playing. In the first season we didn’t manage to win a point, this time we managed a draw. In the 4:4 draw against TSV Ebersberg IV there were two double wins and two singles successes.
Other teams in the district
The team plays together with TSV Schongau II TSV Penzberg in district class B. With 4:6 points, the Penzbergers are one place ahead of the Schongauers in fourth place before the start of the second half of the season. The Penzbergers won their first direct duel 7-1. Melissa Kellner has the best individual record in the team (3 games/3 wins). The TSV Weilheim is playing in the Fürstenfeldbruck hobby league again this season. With 4:2 points we are currently in fourth place among nine teams.
