The season kicks off against Hannover United

There’s still some time to go, but all Rhinos fans are already looking forward to the new season in the 1st Wheelchair Basketball Bundesliga. For the Wiesbaden team, the season kicks off on Sunday, October 18, at 3 p.m. with a home game against Hannover United. And as early as Friday, October 23, they’ll travel to face RSV Lahn-Dill at 7:30 p.m. They managed to defeat this opponent for the first time last season but fell short in the semifinals. So they have something to prove.

Rhinos Sign Top U.S. Scorer Jake Eastwood

The Rhine River Rhinos are bolstering their roster for the new season with one of the top young players from U.S. college sports. Jake Eastwood is transferring from Auburn University to Wiesbaden.

Three changes to the squad

Shortly after the end of the past season, the Rhine River Rhinos have announced their first roster changes for the upcoming season. With Nico Dreimüller, Hannah Dodd, and Nicola Damiano, three key figures are taking on new roles within the club: two are leaving the Rhinos, and one is moving to the coaching staff. All three have shaped the team both on and off the court in recent years and have contributed significantly to its development.
