U17 Pigerne
De danske U17 piger har netop været til EU Nations Cup, der svarer til EM for B-nationer, i Prag. Der blev resultatet en beskeden 9. plads efter nederlag til bl.a. Irland og Skotland. Der er nu mulighed for at tage revanche, når holdet igen står over for de tre nationer fra de britiske øer. Det er en klar ambition at slå Wales, Irland og Skotland i Bellahøj Svømmestadion.

U17 Drengene
Det danske U17 drengelandshold deltog i påsken i en 8 nationers turnering på Malta, hvor holdet sluttede bedre end Skotland, Wales og Irland. Men landstræner Karl-Emil tager ikke af den grund en 1. plads i weekenden for givet. Han siger: ”Hvis Danmark kan spille sammen som et hold, så kan vi levere meget flot vandpolo, men hvis spillerne kun tænker på dem selv, så kan det også gå helt galt.” Turneringen i weekenden skal desuden bruges som opvarmning til Nordiske Mesterskaber i november i Stockholm.

Samarbejde mellem nationer
Turneringen North Sea Cup er en del af vandpolosamarbejdet mellem Danmark og nationerne fra de britiske øer, Wales, Skotland og Irland, der skal styrke Danmarks erfaring med internationale turneringer og udviklingen af både junior- og seniorspillere. Turneringen afvikles en gang om året på både junior- og seniorsiden og går på skift mellem de fire nationer.

Søren Elmstrøm, formand for den danske vandpolosektion udtaler: ”Det er ved disse ungdomsturneringer, at vi får målt og vejet vores talentarbejde.”

North Sea Cup 2015 for U17 spilles d. 26.-27. september 2015 i Bellahøj svømmestadion.

Programmet ses herunder.

Der er gratis adgang begge dage.
