In einem 2-tägigen Camp in Leszno / Polen (7. und 8. Dezember) trainierten die Spieler der New Yorker Lions Jakub Malecki, Lukasz „Omel” Omelanczuk, Vine Redd und Jose Mohler gemeinsam mit polnischen Topspielern junge einheimische Football Talente.

 

Lions show their heart, Leszno LionsHunt 2013!

Earlier this year I have attended German Bowl 35 and witnessed the dramatic New Yorker Lions victory. Not sure if I mentioned that, two polish players Lukas Omelanczuk and Jakub Malecki played for the 2013 GFL Champion. So when “Omel” contacted me and suggested that he would be willing to come, bring some of his teammates and coach polish players I just couldn’t resist. When he said that Vince Redd former Patriot and Jose Mohler –D1 QB would be willing to come I was 100% convinced. For rookies there is nothing better than learning the fundamentals from more experienced players. So after a month of hard work, fixing all the details on December 7th and 8th  an 8 men Football team, hosted a biggest football camp in Poland in recent years, with four New Yorker Lions coaching. Also few of the most experienced polish players helped out Krzysztof “Swan” Konieczny- OL, Szymon “Janek” Jankowiak- WR and Piotr “Talib” Borkowski- RB. I had the chance to work with the DB’s. For me the sight of all the campers, players, coaches and volunteers was the best one I got this Xmas season.

I simply can’t find enough superlatives to describe how Jakub Malecki, Lukas Omelanczuk, Jose Mohler and Vince Redd represented the GFL 2013 Champion. They Mentored the players and yes the word has to be written in capital M.

During two days we run two practical sessions, two theory and one mentoring session. The vast majority of attendees came from lower divisions, so they had the chance to learn the positional fundamentals and some basic X’s and O’s. The players had the chance get life lessons from players, who have already made the leap to the higher level.

On Sunday afternoon after the luncheon, all participants received memorabilia jerseys and the standout players from each positional group were awarded .

I want to thank all Football Friends from New Yorker Lions, who helped organizing this camp. I believe that during two days we have made a huge progress in overall level of football skills and knowledge of many talented polish players. Also the New Yorker Lions have won so many new fans here. Best wishes for Christmas and Good Luck for the 2014 Season!

Head Coach Leszno Hunters

Wojciech Andrzejczak, Head Coach der Leszno Hunters, einem Team aus der polnischen PLFA 8, hatte dieses Camp ohne lange zu zögern nach einem Anruf von Lukasz Omelanczuk organisiert, nachdem er u.a. selbst Augenzeuge des hochklassigen German Bowl 35 in Berlin sein durfte.

Neben praktischen und theoretischen Einheiten war vor allem der Wissenstransfer der erfahrenen Spieler an die jungen Spieler eines der Hauptbestandteile des seit langen größten Footballcamps was Polen gesehen hat.

Dementsprechend war auch die Begeisterung auf allen Seiten groß und die zwei Tage mit den Spielern der New Yorker Lions werden noch lange in den Köpfen der plonischen Nachwuchstalente verankert bleiben.
Wojciech Andrzejczak ließ es sich nicht nehmen den New Yorker Lions ein Dankesschreiben zu kommen zu lassen welches wir hier gerne veröffentlichen!
