Tennis allowed (with some restrictions) in November 2020

Post date: 02-Nov-2020 19:03:06

Dear talented tennis friends,

Due to the measures adopted by the Federal Government of Hessen for the pandemic, some restrictions will apply from 2.11.2020 to 30.11.2020 to tennis .

§ 2.2 of the federal ordinance literally says: "Leisure and amateur sports activities in all public and private sports facilities are prohibited, with the exception of sports activities alone, in pairs or with one's own household."

On the bright side:

- the tennis hall remains open, but only singles are allowed (doubles are allowed only among people of the same household)

- training can take place with a maximum of 1 trainer + 1 trainee (more trainees are allowed, only if from the same household)

But, in addition:

- changing rooms/showers should not be used; reduce your stay to the minimum (come/play/go)

- masks are compulsory till the course is reached, and as soon as it's left, same as social distancing rules

- extra people/supporters for watching are not allowed, as well as social events
