In the next game year Elwassimy won the second division runner-up with SVL, at the end of the season she was bronze in the German U-21 championships, and in the U-18s she was even runner-up.

After finishing fourth in the second Bundesliga South in the 2007/08 season, Elwassimy moved to Allianz Volley Stuttgart , where she and Katharina Stauß replaced record national player Renate Riek-Bauer .

In January 2010 she was elected to the Allstart Team South, but for school reasons she decided not to work.

In the 2010/11 season she was initially not in the starting line-up of the Swabian team. The first setter was the newly signed Anna Nowakowska . After her injury, Mona Elwassimy was used as the only player in the last three league games of 2010 and in the cup semi-finals against Dresdner SC . The Stuttgart women were able to make all four games victorious. Her greatest success so far was on March 6, 2011, when she and her club Allianz Volley won the German cup final against VfB 91 Suhl 3-0. In the summer of 2011 she returned to Bavaria for league rivals Rote Raben Vilsbiburg . In the 2012/13 season Elwassimy decided to take a career break in favor of vocational training. In 2013/14 she played again in the Second League South with the Allgäu Team Sonthofen . For the 2014/15 season she moved to the first division club Köpenicker SC .
