JAKARTA - The implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) in Jakarta totally affects sports activities in the Capital City. The IBL basketball club, Satria Muda Jakarta, was forced to move the team's training location due to the policy of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.

Currently, Satria Muda's management is trying to find a training venue outside Jakarta. Indoor venues in Tangerang or Bogor are an alternative to be used as a temporary training ground.

However, the manager of the Satria Muda team, Riska Natalia Dewi, admits it is not that simple to find a replacement training ground. The reason is, club management must ensure the COVID-19 regulations in the area so that they do not encounter obstacles in the future.

"We also have to study the regulations in the area regarding the COVID-19 pandemic," said the woman who is familiarly called Baby.

He emphasized that team preparations must continue. The management of SM continues to strive for the team to reach an optimal level of play when the league resumes.

"Apart from carrying out a quarantine for coaches and players, we also feel the need to raise the stage of our training to make it more competitive," he said.

A number of scenarios have been prepared if alternative practice sites are not available. One of them is practicing on an outdoor field in the Mahaka Square Arena area, Kelapa Gading.

If that scenario was taken, it was likely that the Young Knight training would not be followed by all the players. Exercises should be divided into small groups. This has been implemented before.

"For facilities including a gym and physical exercise, it is already available in Kelapa Gading," said the Satria Muda Manager.
