In addition, three players, Jan Zimmermann , Moritz Reichert and Tobias Krick , have been appointed to the German national team.
In the 2016/17 season, the United Volleys made it to the playoff semi-finals of the Bundesliga and were defeated by the eventual champions Berlin Recycling Volleys. Against the same opponent they were eliminated in the round of 16 of the DVV Cup . In the CEV Cup , the team also reached the semi-finals and lost there against the eventual title holder Tours Volley-Ball . On September 23, 2017, the United Volleys were named Hessen's Team of the Year 2017. In the 2017/18 season they again had to admit defeat to the Berliners in the playoff semifinals .
