Can you imagine a time when there was no handball team at Team Munich? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Neither do we!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here you can find out more about the history of our fantastic handball team - from the beginning to the present - and how we got here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The beginning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It all started with the EuroGames 2004<\/mark><\/strong> in Munich. As the hosts did not have their own handball team, the EuroGames organisers put together a team of LGBT and straight players for the competition. The games were a success - for Munich, for Team Munich and also for the brand new handball team - we won the silver medal! And so at the beginning 2005<\/mark><\/strong> the handball division of Team M\u00fcnchen e. V. was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first year, we started with a small group - consisting of just 2 women and 4 men - but this group already grew well within the first year and has since been able to expand further. 2006<\/mark><\/strong> at the LGBT handball tournament in Copenhagen. This was the start of many great friendships with numerous European LGBTQ handball teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LGBT tournament became the annual highlight and focus of the training sessions. 2007<\/mark><\/strong> Frankfurt hosted the tournament, where we met many friends from the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 3 successful years, a lack of players led to a break of 2008<\/mark><\/strong> Until 2010<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The comeback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2010<\/mark><\/strong> we resumed weekly training sessions in our small hall with a few old and a few new players and competed in various annual tournaments. 2014<\/mark><\/strong> we travelled to France for the grandiose TIP (Tournament International Paris). We experienced our second EuroGames 2015<\/mark><\/strong> in beautiful Stockholm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

New alignment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We got a real motivational kick after the LGBT Games 2016<\/mark><\/strong> in Amsterdam! We had a lot of fun and our women's team even won!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a few visits to the beer garden, we talked about the future of the team and our goal slowly became clearer: to play in the league! The strategy was to advertise specifically to get experienced players and apply for a large hall in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We quickly realised that our strategy would work when the number of players rose sharply, even though we 2017<\/mark><\/strong> had to compete in the LGBTQ handball tournament in Budapest with only 6 players. Thankfully, the Hungarians helped us out with players and we had a great time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within 18 months, we were able to double our number of players, and by the beginning of 2018<\/mark><\/strong> thirty active players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summer 2018<\/strong><\/mark> the GayGames were organised in Paris, where we were unfortunately only represented as an incomplete team due to high registration fees. This summer, the team management also grew by a few players and the decision to register our team in the district league for 2019\/2020 was put into action. In the 2nd half of the year 2018<\/mark><\/strong> and the first half of 2019<\/strong><\/mark> we did a lot to prepare for the league and to get a \"normal\" hall, which we were able to do in January. 2019<\/mark><\/strong> was also successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2019<\/mark><\/strong> we took part in the annual LGBTQ Euro Handball Tournament<\/a> which was organised by SSL Vorspiel in Berlin this year. With 7th place out of 14 teams, it was our best tournament since 2004.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The current situation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, a lot has happened since we started in 2004 with 6 permanent players. In summer 2024, we have 32 male and 8 female players - and the trend is rising!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to thank everyone who was and is part of Team M\u00fcnchen Handball - especially those who were involved as coaches and those who were fully committed to organisational matters such as planning tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without each and every one of you, we would not be where we are today! A big thank you also goes to Team M\u00fcnchen e.V. for their ongoing support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our vision for Team Munich Handball<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We all train together in a mixed training group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A big wish is to have a women's team next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would also like to register a second men's team as soon as we have enough players for it. Only time will tell, so check back soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
