Rollstuhl-Tischtennis im DRS
This is the German Bundesliga where I will be representing Alstersport Hamburg in the Bundesliga 2nd North Division. The Bundesliga is the only wheelchair league in Europe and will give me great experience playing against other foreign opposition as Alstersport Hamburg look to regain their position in the top Bundesliga National Division.
In the first round of matches, being played in Bielefeld, we will play 3 other clubs in a 5 match contest, 2 singles and a doubles for each player, and will be looking for a winning start to our campaign.
