The Elmshorn Fighting Pirates are an American football club from Elmshorn in Schleswig-Holstein . In the 2020 season the Pirates will play in the GFL Nord, Germany's top division.

history

The Elmshorn Fighting Pirates were founded in 1991 by the Elmshorn students Jörn Maier and Stefan Roth. The promotional activities at Elmshorn schools and youth facilities meant that the first practice units could be held in the Elmshorn rose garden from spring 1991. The team was added to the largest Elmshorn sports club, the Elmshorn MTV , as a division on January 15, 1992 . In 1992, regular game operations also started in the Landesliga Nord A in the State Association of American Football and Cheerleading Association Schleswig-Holstein .

The Pirates celebrated their greatest successes in the 1997 season, when they won the Oberliga Nord unbeaten (“ perfect season ”). In 2002 the team became champions of the Northern League League, in 2003 and 2011 champions of the Oberliga Nord and 2017 champions of the Regionalliga Nord with subsequent promotion to the GFL2 .

From the 2018 season, the team played in GFL2 North.

At the beginning of 2019, the 2nd men (Elmshorn Fighting Pirates II ") of Elmshorn Fighting Pirates was founded and will start playing in 2020. The team's head coach is Michael Schernick.

The first men became champions of the northern season of the GFL2 in 2019 under coach Jörn Maier, then prevailed in the relegation against the Düsseldorf Panthers (47:14 in the first leg, 34:21 in the second leg in front of 2726 spectators in the domestic Krückaustadion) and thus made it for the first time the promotion to the GFL1, the highest German league. With regard to the first first division season in the club's history, the team was strengthened, among other things, with the American James "Jimmy" Walker (quarterback), who should replace quarterback Ryan Sample. The English-born American Kolin Hill (Defensive End) also agreed on a contract with Elmshorn. Playoff participation was given as the goal for the first season in GFL1. Due to the spread of the COVID-19 disease , the GFL season was initially suspended. At the end of July 2020 (at this point it was not yet clear whether the season would take place late), the Elmshorners decided not to take part in the event that the game was resumed in 2020.

Others

In Elmshorn, the so-called American Day is a sporty crowd puller. Every year, up to 2,500 spectators come to this football game in the Krückau Stadium.

The current squad includes 13 coaches and 60 players, most of whom were trained in their own youth.
