There are two lovely new additions to our sports programme at the Gansbaai Sports Centre: Lena Jacobi and Hannah Pehle from Germany. Lena and Hannah joined the Football Foundation/Grootbos Foundation’s hockey project and will be coaching at the centre for the next 3 months.
Lena plays for the National German Women’s Hockey Team and Hannah for the u/21 German Women’s Hockey Team. Both of them play for the club ‘Rüsselsheimer RK’ in Germany. Lena is from Mainz and has finished her Bachelor studies in Aviation Management; Hannah is from Darmstadt and finished secondary school this year. Lena first came to know of the project through Michael Lutzeyer who invited the German Women’s Team out to Grootbos when they were playing in South Africa in January this year.
Welcome girls, its great to have such enthusiastic and skillful people on the team!
Training takes place Tuesdays & Thursdays 15:00 - 16:30 at the Gansbaai Sports Centre, children of all ages and schools are welcome. Contact: aneen@footballfoundation.co.za
I am sure the two girls will do great work for hockey in that region. It was a pleasure meeting them. Take good care, I will definetly come back and take a look how hockey is doing.
Thank you for everything. Florian, former volunteer
