The handball season in Bavaria will continue despite the tightening of the corona and exploding numbers - according to the 2G rule.
Little will change for the HSG Würm-Mitte.
Graefelfing / Würmtal - As the first management body in amateur sport, the Bavarian Handball Association (BHV) announced its decision on the continuation of the season yesterday, which "the presidium did not take lightly", as the BHV wrote in an announcement.
The day before, the committee had met in an extraordinary meeting and had decided to continue gaming operations in line with the legal requirements under the 2G rule.
Benedikt Waterloo, Chairman of the HSG Würm-Mitte, welcomes the decision: “I think it's right.
There are certainly more suitable means of combating the pandemic than curbing sport. "
HSG Würm-Mitte hardly affected by the tightening of 2G in handball
The tightening of the Corona rules to 2G for indoor athletes only “very slightly affects his own teams anyway.
We are fortunate that our club has a very, very, very high vaccination rate. ”According to Waterloo's information, this is 100 percent for the women's teams, and the men hardly have to cope with absenteeism from unvaccinated people.
Not only Waterloo knows that the situation can be different in other clubs, but also the BHV, which announced the continuation of the season: “We are aware that this decision will not meet with the same approval from everyone.
Nevertheless, we are convinced that this is the best way of fulfilling our responsibility in society to make sport possible and to use its social binding forces. "
BHV: Games may be postponed if the vaccination rate is too low - subject to change
In addition, the association urged its clubs to “strictly adhere to the applicable rules or, as a home club, to strictly monitor the implementation of the applicable rules”.
The home club is always obliged to review.
Ignoring the provisions as well as looking for and taking advantage of loopholes and loopholes is irresponsible and could result in severe fines from the Free State.
The BHV still accommodates teams with too low vaccination rates.
“If a club is unable to play under the prevailing conditions, the game can be postponed after consulting the game organizer.
This relocation is free of charge for both clubs, ”said the association's letter.
HSG Würm-Mitte: Uncertainty about rules in the 3rd division and youth division
However, if catch-up games can no longer be played, for example because the 2G situation has not changed by the end of the season or the round has to be canceled, the postponed games will be counted to the disadvantage of the applying club according to the rules of the game.
It is not yet known whether there is a special rule for the players that deviates from 2G for the 3rd league, which is approaching professional sport and spans federal states and in which the women I of the HSG compete.
The same applies to the youth league with Würm-Mittes female A-youth.
But Waterloo is certain "that the DHB will not restrict the game operations under any circumstances".
Handball: Schoolchildren released from the 2G rule - not working youths
The situation is different with the youth in Bavaria, for whom the 2G rule in active sport (not for the spectators) has been defused, but this only applies to schoolchildren, as the BHV clarified: "At the present time, unfortunately, trainees are excluded Young people who are already employed elsewhere due to a lack of regular corona tests at school.
It is therefore also possible for young people to move games free of charge.
