Added 3 March 2024: RSV Bayreuth 1994 e.V. (German 2. Division Team) is actively seeking players with classifications between 4.5 and 2.0.

We are in search of players who aspire to enhance their skills both on and off the court. Our goal is to form a Team that is ready to compete in the 1. Division of the German League.

This presents a unique opportunity for young players aiming to embark on their first season abroad. Currently positioned in the second league, we are building our team with the right mix of young and experienced players. The goal is to play in the first League, but we don’t  just want to stay there for one season. Once we determine that we are prepared to compete in the 1. Division, our commitment is to establish a lasting presence.

To realize these ambitions, we aim to build a cohesive team committed to playing together for more than one season. While our primary focus is on young and promising players, we also welcome the inclusion of experienced individuals to complement our squad.

Does this proposition resonate as an exciting opportunity for you? Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at player@rbb-bayreuth.de

My name is Dagmar van Hinte and I’ve been playing for BBU’01 in Germany last season. We have started play-offs and we are hoping to move up to the 1e Bundesliga with our team. Right now we play under the coaching of Thorsten Schmidt. However we are looking for a coach or assistant coach that can help us during our training and games, because Thorsten also has another Job that takes a lot of time.

Added 9 June 2021: Rhine River Rhinos (Germany, RBBL1 (Division 1)) are looking for an ambitious head coach. Ideally we are looking for an experienced coach, that can teach our many national players a lot and unlock their full potential as a team. But we are also open to give a chance to a young and talented coach with a clear vision for our team. Our head coach is autonomously in charge of organizing the teams trainings sessions and his coaching tactics.

Rhine River Rhinos were founded in 2013 and made their RBBL1 debut in the season of 2016/17. We have been doing our best to develop professional structures within our club. But as many others there is still room for improvement and we are working hard on us to do so every year. However, compared to other European teams, we do not need to hide concerning our professional structures: All our athletes have working contracts as professional athletes which means that they get full health care and accident insurance and get their visa as professional athletes.

Over the past five seasons in Division 1 we have made it to the playoffs three times. In 2017 we placed second at Challenge Cup. Our roster holds national players from six nations. Our plan is to not only establish our team to play for the titles of the league, but also to develop our sport for a wider audience.  We live by our motto: You can’t stop a running rhino!

Interested? Don’t hesitate to contact our manager Mirko Korder via Email: Mirko.Korder@sv-rhinos.de

Added 25 January 2022: Hello, I’m Sam Armas and I am a 23 year old mid-sized 3.5. I have been playing wheelchair basketball for 11 years, and have been playing for Auburn University in the NWBA Collegiate Division for the last 5 years as a team captain under Auburn and USA men’s head coach Robb Taylor. I was selected to the 2022 u23 USA Team, and served as a captain for the u23 team as well. We won gold in qualifiers in Playa del Carmen Mexico, and finished 6th overall in the 2022 u23 World Championships in Phuket, Thailand. I have also been in the Team USA selection pool since 2022, and have attended invite-only USA Senior Team tryouts. I am a natural leader and have been a captain of every team that I have ever played for, and I have accumulated International experience from the u23 team and from playing against professional American players at tryouts.

As a 3.5, I pride myself with being an all-around player with a high basketball IQ. I particularly value defense, and use my strong chair skills and communication to be an asset on that end. Offensively, I use my explosiveness to cut to the hoop, and can finish through contact or use my strong court vision to make an extra pass to an open teammate. I have a solid mid-range game, and have a particular knockdown shot from the left 45 bank shot. I have a versatile game, and am willing to fill any role to help my team win; whether that is as a primary scorer, facilitator, post player, defensive specialist, or any other role. I am interested in playing in Europe next season, and particularly have a preference in the Spanish or German leagues. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at sarmas99@gmail.com.
