ATSV habenhausen III: Celebrating class despite relegation zone!

An exciting final for the handball players of ATSV Habenhausen III: With the recent decision of the association, the team remains in the Landesliga. First of all, the players had to fear for their whereabouts after they had fallen on the relegation zone in the table at the end of April with 26:26 points. Five teams were tied, and the direct comparison classification played a crucial role, such as the Weser-Kurier reported.

coach Holger Bellersen was anything but enthusiastic about the situation. He campaigned intensively to avert the descent by addressing emails and phone calls to the association. His persistence and happiness through team leaves ultimately led to the approval of a change of region. This made it possible for the HSG Sottrum/Ottersberg to switched to the Bremen-Nordsee region and increased the league on 13 teams. Bellersen then asked for an adaptation of the coming season to 14 teams, which was approved by the association after intensive negotiations. So the relegation actually became a reality.

a big step towards relegation

The relegation was favored by several factors, so that the ATSV Habenhausen III can now optimistically start the 2025/26 season. Bellersen expressed his faith in his team's skills. "We have the cards and a new chance. I am confident that we can survive in the coming season," said the coach after the association's decision. The joy of staying in the league is great.

Already in the third division game against the Sportfreunde Söhre, the team showed what was made of it. With a clear 34:31 win, they ensured an unforgettable weekend. Thanks to a strong performance in the Crunchtime, the Bremen handball players were able to break away with three goals. This was a huge step towards relegation, as can be read on the Website of the ATSV habenhausen .
