Club career

Steenbergen began her volleyball career in 2001 at AMVJ Amstelveen and played there, with the exception of a one-year interlude at VC Weert, until 2008.

The Czechs won both games against the Germans 3: 1, but lost their games against RC Cannes (0: 3 and 0: 3) Eczacıbaşı Istanbul (0: 3 and 1: 3) and were therefore eliminated as third in group D. the competition.
