The strategic direction, with a focus on girls' handball, includes numerous school partnerships.
In the first season, five youth teams took part in the games of the Bergisches Handballkreis. Two years later, in the 2010/11 season, eleven youth teams up to the female B youth were registered. In the 2015/16 season, 19 teams started in the department, which now has around 250 children. There was a particularly large increase in primary school children.
