Let’s meet – SK TAPA
October 22, 2021
Let’s meet – SK Tapa from Tapa, Estonia. So far Estonians have played seven games – five lost and two won games, that lands them in 11th place.
SK Tapa is pointing out all the positive and negative sides of last season: “First half of the season was okay. We had our moments in BHL, winning VHC Svieša and Granitas-Karys at home. It showed us, as a team, that we can play with everyone. Unfortunately, we struggled to get all players for away games. Negative side was that we didn´t succeed at domestic Championship. There were different reasons for that. On a positive side, we managed to get 3rd place at Estonian Cup.” With the pre-season they are quite satisfied – “We started at July with cardio and strength. August was quite busy. We had two training camps + two pre-season tournaments in Põlva and Alytus.” In this season they emphasize the experience what they can get from all games, Rail Ageni, captain of the team answers: “Experience is the key word. Most of our players are very young. BHL is giving them a chance to grow faster as a player. If we look at the numbers – we would like to be at top 8th for end of BHL season. Estonian championship goal is easy – to get on semi-finals. It´s going to be tough, but we will do our best. Most of Estonian teams are more powerful than last year. Will see.”
Key players – Every member of our team is a key player 🙂
How would you describe your team in few words – On the court – We are improving with every game. Our goal is to be fast and more aggressive. Of the court – Positive team vibe is the key.
How do you motivate or cheer up your team – I think our motivation comes naturally. Winning games will probably give us some extra boost and confident.
Prediction game: who will win this season – Well, I hate to predict, but if we look at the tournament table – Põlva or Viljandi.
