Top Belgium’s players returned to trainings

In Belgium, all the athletes who are still in the run for a qualification for the Olympic Games were allowed to practice after a decision of the Ministry of Sports.

 

“Under strict conditions our players are able to practice one time per day only 2 players at the same time. When arriving on site a control of temperature is done. They have to clean everything before and after practice. Concerning the balls they have to be marked with colors so that each player is collecting his own balls” explained Belgium TTA Vice-President Jacques Denys

 

Federation is waiting for more information and communication about the calendar in the coming months.

 

“We would like to organize training's camps before the important events. When we will get information we can contact our Ministry of Sports to try to reinstall more players in the same hall. Depending on the evolution of the pandemic we hope to be able to restart bigger group to practice together during June.”

 

Big event with a lot of people is not possible in Belgium until end of August.

 

“At the moment we have to prepare for European Championships and World Championships in September but it will be difficult if we haven't other competitions in preparation before those big events. The situation is different country by country. For now we just take care of the safety of our players and coaches.”
