Only the long-standing setter an captain of the team, Jaroslav Skach, will not get a new contract for the upcoming season. He will be replaced by Sebastian Kühner, who played for CV Mitteldeutschland last season.
Accordingly, the follwing players will try to defend their title in the 2012/2013 season: Kawika Shoji, Scott Touzinsky, Paul Carroll, Aleksandar Spirovski, Martin Krystof, Roko Sikiric, Tomas Kmet, Felix Fischer, Ricardo Galandi and Bjoern Hoehne.
With regard to the Finnish outside hitter Urpo Sivula, negotiations on the prolongation of his contract are still ongoing, but it is very unlikely that he will stay as the BR volleys are looking for an experienced outside hitter.
