Konrad Bansa (born July 24, 1975 in Neuwied ) is a former German handball goalkeeper and today's coach. He is a former national beach handball player and has been the national coach of the German national beach handball team since 2015 .

Career

Bansa comes from the Rhine-Main area and began playing handball in 1986 as an e-youth at TSG Münster . Since the 1994/95 season he was in the squad of the club's first team, which played in the northern season of the Regionalliga Südwest. In 2005 TSG Münster rose to the 2nd Bundesliga South for the first time in the club's history, and in 2008 Bansa ended his playing career.

In beach handball , Bansa won the DHB Beach Handball Masters in 1997 with the Münster and became German champions in 1999 and 2000. From 2002 he ran several times for the German national beach handball team, in 2004 he became vice-European champion with the team in Alanya, Turkey . In 2006 he took part in the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil , where they finished eighth. He also took fourth place with the German selection at the 2006 European Beach Handball Championship.

Already as an active player, Bansa trained youth teams at TSG Münster, and in 2010 he became champions with the B-youth team of the Southwest German Association. In July 2010, he was, now owner of the A license , coach of second division club HSG FrankfurtRheinMain ; the club was created through the merger of SG Wallau and TSG Münster and dissolved after relegation in 2011. Bansa remained the coach of the TSG Münster first team, now playing in the third division , until March 2012 . In July 2012 he became a full-time youth coordinator at LiT Handball NSM and TuS N-Lübbecke . In January 2014, Bansa was released from his work as a LiT trainer. However, he should continue to work as the youth coordinator of the two clubs until the end of his contract in June 2014.

After helping out again as a goalkeeper at HSG Rhein-Nahe Bingen in 2014, he took over as coach from January 2015.

In the spring of 2015, the Presidium of the German Handball Federation appointed him, together with Kai Bierbaum, to be selection trainers for beach handball in the male area. Under his leadership (colleague Bierbaum was unable to do so with a family) the beach and ball national team reached the main round at the EM in Lloret de Mare and 8th place in the final ranking. After a 7-year absence from a German team at international tournaments, it was a success.

In 2016, Bansa took over the establishment of the very first male beach handball youth national team. After beach handball was nominated as a discipline for the Youth Olympic Games, the first qualification step should be achieved at the U16 European Championship 2016 in Nazare (Por). Since there were no youth games in Germany at that time, indoor players were newly trained. After the short training period, the team reached 6th place. However, the quarter-final against the eventual European champion had already ended the chance to qualify for the World Cup and thus the Youth Olympics.

At the U17 European Championship, the advanced team under Bansa's leadership won the bronze medal. At the 2019 European Championships in the Polish Stare Jabłonki , the German team just missed the semi-finals and ended up in sixth place.
