Team leaders and key squad changes:
We expect to see Gytis Smantauskas, Mykolas Lapiniauskas, Laurynas Simonavicius, Arvydas Bucius in leading roles. We also hope that our young players will not fall behind. Usually a few players leave the team after each season. After last season seven players left the team and we said goodbye to two more at the beginning of this season. You can say that the team is new

Team legionnaires:
3 players from Ukraine

20,3 years. The oldest player is 34 and the youngest 15 years old

The team’s season goals (coach Gintaras Cibulskis):
The main goal in the Baltic Handball League is to reach the final four. We also set a goal for our youngest players to improve and gain international handball experience. Hopefully that will be the foundation for a stronger team of the next season.
