“Exhausted but happy”. Three words were enough for Andrea Junker, who, together with an organizational team made up of players from the active teams, was also in charge of this year’s summer party Handball community Cannstatt/Münster/Max-Eyth-Seelast Sunday evening “after two simply great handball days” on the grounds of the TSV Muenster. Almost 60 children and youth teams from F youth to A youth were at the start of Stuttgart’s largest handball youth tournament – “a challenge” even for the experienced tournament manager Joachim Hoffmann.
Stage for the first referee steps
No less demanding for those responsible for Ca-Mü-Max around Wolfgang Junker: Under the supervision of the handball district Rems-Stuttgart, candidate referees showed their skills on Saturday – “and they all did it really well,” said a delighted squire.
Handball unites – this was also confirmed on Saturday afternoon by the tournament for leisure teams. Wrestlers, soccer players or carnival participants on the handball field – “that’s always something special,” smiled Joachim Hoffmann on Saturday evening.
On Sunday, not only the HSG leaders were enthusiastic about the enthusiasm of the female and male D to F youth teams. Balanced teams that “reach the goal through real cooperation – what more could you ask for!”, Andrea Junker, herself a trainer at HSG Ca-Mü-Max, was happy to say. There was also praise from a professional: Jan Forstbauer, once active with his first handball steps in Cannstatt, and after stations in Melsungen, among others, after six successful years with HSV Hamburg Handball since last season in the right backcourt of the TVB Stuttgart active, “very gladly” took over the award ceremony of the F youth on Sunday. The number 23 away jersey had already been one of the main prizes in the raffle of the Ca-Mü-Max association led by Tanja Gruseck.

“We would be happy to welcome you here again next year” – the sentence given to all teams by Joachim Hoffmann over loudspeakers could have an effect – also “Thanks to the great commitment of the players of our active teams and also many parents from Set-up and dismantling through to sales at our stands,” as HSG youth leader Carolin Eppeler emphasized on Sunday evening.
