Talata Men and Academy players together after the pre-season game at Nørre Fælled, 4 September 2026

Valdemar Scharfe came to Talata in 2022. He trained at our camps and in the Academy, and this season he started with Talata Men. At the start of October he flew to New Jersey.

This fall he trains with The Patrick School basketball program. We set the move up with him.

The move

Talata to The Patrick School program

What he did here

Valdemar opened this season with Talata Men. In the cup game against Hørsholm on 7 September he had 13 points and the best plus minus on the team. Two weeks later he scored 14 away at BK Amager.

On 29 September, a few days before he flew, he was on the floor helping lead a U19 workout.

Why New Jersey

The Patrick School is one of the best known high school basketball programs in the United States. Valdemar trains with them every day this fall.

Third one out

Valdemar is the third Talata player to head to North America. Malthe Mikkelsen went to Fort Erie International Academy and then Orangeville Prep in Ontario for 2025/26, a move we ran with him. Johan Lyager Joensen, one of our originals, is at Martins Ferry High School in Ohio this year. His family ran that move.

He turned 20 on 22 October. Go well, Valdemar. The gym is here when you come home.

Valdemar started with one session

The first one is free. Bring indoor shoes, and tell us a date of birth so we can find the group.
