BC Apollo VSE1

05/09/2024

Couple of years ago the club pronounced (and informed the players) the intention to have VSE1 played in the W(oman)B(asketball)L(eague).

Nowadays, a few years later the intention to play in the WBL is more alive as ever.

In the meanwhile the VSE1 promoted from 2nd division to 1st division to Promotion division and even reached the playoff final last season.

With a new (WBL experienced) coach/trainer and around 5/6x new players, the next step ... preparing for WBL ... has started last week and hopefully in season 2025-2026, WBL participation is a fact.

But .... without sponsors the next step will almost be impossible ..... 😟.

By the way this FB page will not be updated anymore.

Wishing the VSE1 a nice season and have a lot of fun 👍😄.

Wij zijn verheugd te kunnen delen dat Jorrick Creyghton de nieuwe headcoach zal worden van de Dames 1 PROMO.
Jorrick is geen onbekende, hij coachte van 2014 tot 2018 ook al bij BC Apollo.
Daarna heeft hij mooie coach jobs gehad bij onder andere BAL, ZZ Leiden en CTO. Met Jorrick is Apollo weer een coach rijker met een grote hoeveelheid ervaring. WELKOM JORRICK!

Season 2023-2024 officially ended last week with playing the promo final.
Excellent season (my opinion 😊):
- 3rd place in promotion division and qualified for play-offs
- reaching final in play-offs
- reaching quarter finals in the Dutch cup
From some games photographs have been provided and you can view them (again 😂) in links below:

Preparations for the next season will start soon (I guess).
As usual there will be changes every year in the line-up of the team.
Who will stay, who will go, who will be kicked-out (I mean replaced) etc. ect.

We wish 'De Dames' who will continue this summer season playing 3x3 a lot of fun and success 👍.

Njoy yr summer 😁.

'De Dames' lost the Promo Division playoffs final game against CBV Binnenland.

A pity and dissapointment ofcourse but one hour after the defeat 'De Dames' recovered and memorize that they had an excellent season while sipping a beer/wine/cocktail until the sunrise early sunday morning😄.

Everyone who predicted at the start of the season that 'De Dames' would end on position 3 in the regular competition and will play the final would have been send to a mental hospital for sure.

But as a newby team in the promo, 'De Dames' did it and we (friends, family, ex-husbands, kids, Apollo club, etc.) are all very proud of these results and successes despite the loss in the final.

Looking at the final, CBV Binnenland was just a little bit better, especially in shooting and using their length/power in the bucket.
So victory deserved.

Congratulations to CBV Binnenland !!! 👍👍👍🏻

'De Dames' had to travel to (EBBC) Den Bosch for a midweek semifinal game in the promo division.
The previous 2x games (this season and last season) in Sporthal Zuid in Den Bosch got lost: 98-58 & 86-41.

Reason for 'De Dames' to perform a little bit better than a huge +/- 40 points defeat.
The 'home' game in the semifinal was easily won (84-28) against an incomplete EBBC team.

This evening, 'De Dames' played a good game but lost the game in my opinion unnecessary with 70-68.

Noted: a whopping 29 points (including 6x 3-pointers) for Jip. Not unusual but anyway ... 😉.

Funny(?): every action of Lisa ended in a Personal Fault. If Lisa broke the record of quickest 5x P's and out of the game is unknown 😁.

Surprise: 3x 3-pointers (100% score) by Mies ☺️.

Remarkable: starting in Q4 the coach decided surprisingly to experiment with the line-up. Experiment (as expected) failed completely and a 10 point advantage was turned quickly around in a 5 point defeat, a loss of the quarter and in the end a loss of the game.😨.

Saturday the promo division final against CBV Binnenland in Almere. 'De Dames' are ready !!!

First semi final game resulted in a big win for 'De Dames'. Opponent EBBC Den Bosch did not had the availability of all players due to a teamtrip to somewhere.

'De Dames' were missing Julianne and Romi but were still too strong for EBBC this game.

Wednesday second game in Den Bosch.
