The FLBB is pleased that the government has declared the next phase of the deconfinement, which means further step towards a new normality, also for sports. As basketball is a contact sport, regular practises will not be possible (and no competition). However, with the allowance of ball sharing, players and coaches will have more possibilities in practise. It is very important to note that all the general measures and hygiene recommendations must be respected at all time.
Recommendations for Basketball Practices
– Keep the distance (2 meters)
– 2m lateral distance between 2 athletes (5m if two athletes run one behind the other)
– No contact practise (so no 1-1, 2-2, etc. drills)

– Practise in smaller groups (number depending on the size of the gym)
– 2 players per basket (lateral distance of 2m must be guaranteed)
