Lights are always NOT included, you need 2 EUR per hour. Bring coins to avoid waste of time for changing money.
Very important! : These indoor courts are carpet equipped, which means -as we are in Germany- you must have indoor tennis shoes with fully flat soles (=> absolutely no profile, otherwise they can stop you from playing)

About SG1886 Weiterstadt
Website: http://sg-weiterstadt.de/tennis/Tennisanlage.htm
You will find on the Web above most information. The "major" features of this club are:
We use carpet instead of clay: faster, not so comfortable but more consistent (no unexpected bouncing!) and much better for knees than hard surface, and... no need to sweep the court, no dirty shoes!
It is a hall, not a bubble: much better temperature control and air quality.
Showers and dressing rooms available.
There are other sports and leisure facilities around the tennis courts which can also be used (bistro, sauna area, fitness studio, exercise rooms, massage studio).
The club is located in Weiterstadt, Am Aulenberg 2-10, 64331 (~10 minutes from ESOC or EUMETSAT by car, see here)
