International practice
The National Team U15 will not participate in the international tournament this year. But, the team coach Mike Bundi found the way players to receive such practice. He succeeded to contact with the championship organizers and to receive a place for his team due to the recommendations of the head coach, Martin Almstetter.
As of National Team U18, players can use this tournament as preparation for the European Championship and play on the international arena. It will also become the main event of the year for the U15.
Switzerland will play in one group with Austria, Serbian and the Netherlands. According to Mike Bundi, Swiss team can stand a chance playing against Austria and Serbia, but as of match with Netherlands it is one of the powerful team. Thus time will show what the result will be.
