Green light for the resumption of tennis. Erdings clubs are ready and waiting for the details of the conditions.
Erding - It is quite possible that Alexander Dittrich will open the forest tennis season. "As a department head, I could actually take the right," he says with a laugh. But for him the only thing that really counts is: "It will finally start on Monday." A first broadcast at the tennis clubs in the district makes it clear that the clubs are ready.
FC Forstern: News via video message
"Our six tennis courts have been prepared," reports Forstern's department head Dittrich. Voluntary work was only allowed within narrow limits, "but that wasn't a problem for us anyway because we commissioned a contractor," explains Dittrich. "She changed the sand, and our groundsman rolled and watered." At the weekend, only the privacy screen and nets are hung up. "I still have to ask the community how many people can work on it together," reports Dittrich.
It also needs to be clarified how to arrange game operations and social distancing. "We're still sitting together these days," says Dittrich. For example, it is possible that seats can be booked online for 90 minutes. Then only one hour can be played. This way you can avoid contact with the next player. "But these are only initial considerations," says Dittrich. The BTV will draw up hygiene regulations on Thursday. "After that we will act." Dittrich regrets that "one thing that makes tennis from Forst" will not work: "That people sit together for an hour or two after the sport." And what else does he find a shame. “A drop in temperature is the order of the day for Monday.” Tennis at eight degrees - not the best start. Dittrich wants to tell the members in a video message on Sunday how things will start on Monday.
TC Erding: The places need the players
Thanks to a third-party company and the two permanent attendants, the ten Erdinger Courts outdoors and three seats in the hall are well prepared. "It's not good for the courses if you don't play on them," explains TCE chairman Alexander von Gerichten. "Everyone who plays runs on the floor and then water it." It starts on Monday.
The association does not make a reservation. "If you come first, you can also play," says von courts. The TCE is waiting for the association's specifications as to which rules must be observed with regard to social distancing. "The 23 meters between the two players should be enough," says courts, but it is also about issues such as changing rooms and social contacts. "Our landlord wants to offer takeaway food," says the chairman, who wants to notify the members via newsletter and website as soon as the most important questions about the procedure have been clarified.
FC Langengeisling: hot for a rally
"The four places in Langengeisling will be ready on Monday," promises FCL press spokesman Klaus Eicher. "Of course, only singles are played. And to meet the hygienic regulations, we will set up flexible seasons. Whoever comes has an hour of guaranteed playing time, but then only has to go down when someone is waiting. ”The following duo should then wait until their predecessors have pulled off the ground and left the pitch. Eicher is also looking forward to Monday, but maybe the season won't open until Wednesday. "When it rains, of course we don't let anyone on the court," says Eicher and adds with a smile: "I'm afraid that we will have to check that, because everyone is really hot for the first rally."
SG Reichenkirchen: First the team players
"Only the nets have to be installed," reports Martin Kern from SG Reichenkirchen, who emphasizes: "Only individual games are played while respecting the distance rules." The first players to be on the pitch are the team players. Otherwise, hobby players can play on the pitch at any time. "And one day is kept free for hobby players."
TC Dorfen: Training operation only from May 18th
"Our five seats at Volksfestplatz are already 95 percent complete, and we can start on May 11th," reports Klaus Huber from TC Dorfen. The two founding places in Hausmehring are from 1928 and somewhat more complex to repair. "According to our technical manager Michi Loipführer, these places will soon be made available to members," says Huber, for whom it is clear that all requirements issued by the state or association will be implemented. “The clubhouse, changing rooms and showers are still closed. The training will only start up in small increments from May 18 at the earliest. ”The TCD is also equipped in the event that there is a huge run at the start after the long dry spell. "Our new webcam enables members to determine the occupancy of the seats," explains Huber. On the 6000 square meters, it should also be possible to keep the necessary distance while waiting.
SpVgg Langenpreising: Working with a mask
"With the exception of a few preparatory work - nets, chairs, blinds and gutters - our tennis courts are ready for use," reports Anna Wagner. "These should be done on Saturday in a work assignment" in which, of course, the distance rules must be observed and masks must be used, "the Langenpreisinger press spokeswoman continued. The clubhouse and changing rooms would still be kept closed.
“We may be able to form training groups again from the end of May, if we find that everyone has behaved reasonably by then. Unless the BTV already gives the green light for this in its specifications, which are to be released in the next few days, ”Wagner continues. It still needs to be clarified with the trainers whether they can comply with the distance rules during training.
A restriction of the game play to single is not understandable for Wagner, “because we can avoid direct contacts even with doubles and especially the older people, for whom the sport is very important, primarily only play doubles. When shopping or in public transport, the approaches to other people are much greater - and here also with people who know each other and take care of each other. "
The SpVgg members would have accepted the time without tennis. "However, the fact that the largely contactless sports in particular have not been taken into account in the gradual easing has increasingly led to incomprehension and inquiries, especially since there are already states that already play tennis again," says Wagner.
SC Moosen: First wait for the BTV information
The tennis courts in Moosen have not yet been prepared "because we followed the rules," as SCM boss Manfred Slawny says. “But now we are working on it with high pressure. The members are of course very hot. ”Slawny would like to wait for the information from the BTV before creating the space. And who is allowed to be the first on the pitch? Slawny: "I'm excited too, but I have already felt the cries of joy from the members."
SV Hörlkofen: The break came in handy
"We could start right away," reports Karl Eder from SV Hörlkofen. Now it is time to wait for the BTV guidelines and implement them. “Since the season only starts in the first week of May anyway, not much has changed anyway,” says Eder. You only have to do without events like the opening and Schleiferlturnier this year. Eder describes the tennisless weeks as "actually quite relaxed". After the HSV was able to end the indoor season, some people found a short break convenient. "Ultimately, however, we are very happy that things are starting again now - with or without restrictions."
TC Oberding: Rolling on the weekend
The Oberdingen tennis courts were prepared by a company in March, "but since then we haven't been able to do anything about them," explains TCO chairman Ute Attenberger. "But at the weekend we want to get the system ready to play, so water, roll, hang up nets and so on." The plans for social distancing are currently "only vague". Certain measures such as the blocking of the clubhouse and changing rooms are clear, "but before we can get started, we have to wait for the BTV's exact specifications". This also applies to the occupancy of the places. However, an online reservation system is quite conceivable: "I know that I can rely on the rationality of our members."
TC Isen: waiting for the BTV information
The Isen tennis courts are ready to play. "We received an exceptional permit from Markt Isen at the beginning of April in order to be able to build up our seats under strict conditions," explains TCI press spokesman Stephan Köpernik. The association is now waiting for the hygiene guidelines of the BTV. "For us, this is also the authoritative document that we will follow." Köpernik speaks of "great anticipation of the game, and we expect a lot of crowds on Monday - especially if the weather is right". There is no waiting list, “and of course nobody else is given priority. If there are any bottlenecks, we will have to come up with a solution - above all to avoid grouping while waiting ”.
With all understanding of the conditions, the impatience has grown in the end. "Then our new Kleinfeldplatz, which connects to the ball wall, was finished. We once had to write a nice email to the club distribution list that playing there is unfortunately not yet allowed. Otherwise, everyone followed the rules, ”continues Köpernik.
FC Hohenpolding: Helpers have priority
FC Hohenpolding will finish its seats at the weekend. According to Eugen Brenninger, the occupancy is already clear: “First of all, those who have prepared the seats are allowed to play. Therefore, no waiting list is required. Up to now there were only five helpers, who were always three at a time at work ”.
FC Finsing: until 5 p.m. for children and pensioners
“Our two year-round places are always ready. The other three are currently in the works and will be finished the weekend after next, ”reports Walter Thiess from TC Finsing. As soon as the BTV has informed all clubs about the hygiene concept, the TC will also implement this. How will the places be filled? Thiess: "On weekdays, children and young people can take up to 5 p.m. and pensioners." In the evening, days were reserved for the teams on some days. Reservations in the showcase apply on weekends. The youth keeper is just preparing the training overview for children and adolescents.
TC Taufkirchen: Cool videos of the youth
"The bitter thing was that we were able to play on our new Sportas all-year courses during the winter and suddenly had to block in spring," says Manfred Stanggassinger. “On the other hand, these places are of course immediately available. The clay courts were prepared by a company. After they are still a bit damp, we can hopefully roll at the weekend, ”continues the chairman of the TC Taufkirchen. Now you wait for the guidelines of the BTV. "In any case, posters have already been ordered to indicate that we should keep our distance," says Stanggassinger. "We trust the members' sanity and will inform them by email at the weekend. The clubhouse is of course not managed at first. ”
And who can go on the pitch first on Monday? "The president, then the vice," quips Stanggassinger. “We have eight spaces that can all be used. Anyone who comes later will have to wait a little, so far it has worked out well. ”And how was it in the past few weeks? Stanggassinger: “It was difficult to see the sadness of the people. However, the members know that they would cause us difficulties as a board member, so they stick to the rules. ”The TCT boss assured that he had only received friendly feedback. “The most beautiful was a video challenge of our youth. She was incredibly creative and played tennis with the coolest tricks at home, over the roofs, on the terrace and in the garden. We are still considering awarding some videos. ”
TCME: Doubles should also be possible
Because the places of the TC Moosinning-Eichenried were set at the beginning of March and then rolled and watered regularly afterwards, only minor work will be done in the next few days. Press spokesman Wolfgang Zierz: “At the moment we assume that only single games will be possible at first, but hope for a quick signal that the simultaneous use of the seats is also allowed for other players, for example in doubles and training, as this is necessary Social distancing on a tennis court can be easily maintained, at least in the leisure area ”. The association does not consider a waiting period between two seat occupations to be “currently not necessary. There are three different accesses to the places. In addition, we have a large waiting area between seats 1 and 2 with an additional, over 25-meter-long seat, which will enable the players to wait for the available space at a reasonable distance. "
With the five clay courts, the demand "could actually always be met quite well," Zierz continued. The TCME has always regulated the allocation of places via a named plug-in system, through which the place and the time are reserved with a name tag. Zierz: "Actually, we wanted to do away with this for a long time, but now it will still serve us well when it comes to organizing a game that meets the requirements." A waiting list does not say that "first come, first serve" applies. In view of the BTV's plan to start the point game round from the beginning of June, the club would reserve the right to reserve individual times for team players.
TC Inning: Two of the many places are ready
"We will prepare two of the four courses ready for play at the weekend, taking into account the applicable distancing rules," announced Innings tennis boss Norbert Gruber. In the past, it was not possible because the club did all the work itself. Only companies would have been allowed to do the necessary work during the exit restrictions. The rules for complying with the requirements are worked out over the weekend before the seats are opened, published on the seats and digitally sent to the members. Gruber especially expects a lot of people from the team players at the beginning of next week, “since there are also some short-time work and therefore time. On the other hand, it also helps to equalize the seasons. ”Of course, the impatience has increased, reports Gruber. "However, the BTV has always informed its members promptly, and already in March postponed the start of the point game round to early June."
SpVgg Neuching: exception for Weindl
The fact that the Neuchingen tennis courts are immediately playable is mainly due to the private work of the Hermansdorfer and Weindl families, reports SpVgg press spokeswoman Corinna Wolf. She describes the challenges of social distancing as "exciting with only two places and highly motivated players". For the time being there are only single players with a strict reservation requirement, limited to a maximum of two hours of play (unless the space would still be free afterwards). Everyone would have adhered to the game ban last week. Only top player Michael Weindl and his girlfriend were allowed to use the space earlier thanks to a special permit and circulation, says Wolf.
FC Lengdorf: Are the footballers playing now?
“The three Lengdorfer courses are ready to play so far. Only the nets still have to be installed during the course of Monday, ”reports department head Bernhard Eichner, who is waiting for further information from the association. The FCL had received community approval for work during the exit restriction. Next week, the department management will be concerned about whether the FCL will take part in the media round with both teams that are actually registered. Eichner does not expect the huge rush after the tennis-free period. "We have a certain pool of players, such as our pensioners who play during the day." But it is quite possible that some footballers will rediscover tennis. Eichner regrets that society is currently neglected. "Sitting together after the game is just part of tennis." He is also curious how the BTV regulates the approach to away games. "It will be difficult for a team of four to arrive in the car."
