  • TuSLi U16 preparation for playoffs ended in Kaunas

    Berlin TuS Lichterfelde U16 team the first time came to Kaunas last year to participate in the international yout basketball tournament Kaunas Cup 2015. Then they met a lot of equal opponents and won bronze medals. After that, TuSLi decided to come back to Lithuania in spring to play few tough games and finish preparation for playoffs. 

    U16 championship first official in Germany. All the teams  divided into eight sub-groups according to location.  TuSLi U16 team won all the games during the regular season, but the head coach Florian Brill noticed few problems after that: “We won all the games, but players became lazy in defense and playing as not I would like.  This is very bad, because the most important matches are ahead. The main goal in Lithuania was to play four tough games with equal opponents. And it happened! We had three games with Lithuania TOP level U16 teams and one game with U17. The games were really good. We won three games in several points, one of it after overtime and lost one game against U17 team. The playoffs start at 3rd of March, so I hope that this trip has benefit”. 

    Hendrik Drescher and Jonas Mattisseck – two players of TuSLi, who are representing National  U16 team of Germany. They also were invited to prestigious Jordan basketball camp. 

    TuSLi promises to come back in Kaunas in autumn – to participate again in the international Youth basketball tournament Kaunas Cup 2016.
