The group around head coach Gert Van de Broek, who is also the mentor of Belgium’s national team, opened the Championship series with VDK GENT Dames – a surprising semifinalist in this year’s CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup – by scoring a 3:0 away win before losing the second match 2:3 at home.
However, Asterix regrouped pretty well for the last showdown of this domestic season to claim the crown for the third consecutive year.
At the end of the club season a jury of specialists voted Jelte Maan of Noliko MAASEIK and Freya Aelbrecht of Asterix KIELDRECHT “players of the year”, while Vital Heynen and Stijn Morand – mentors of Noliko and VDK GENT respectively – were nominated best coaches of the 2011/2012 campaign.
