Sport: Grass sports pitches in the Bocholt city area are spared

Due to the current pitch conditions and the current weather forecast, all grass sports pitches in the entire Bocholt city area are closed for the entire week. This was announced by the city of Bocholt after checking the pitch conditions on Monday morning.

Due to the high levels of rainfall in recent weeks, the pitches are soaked and saturated with water. Due to the weather forecast for this week, the situation is unlikely to improve before Christmas. Any use would lead to massive damage to the pitches. It is necessary to protect the pitches in order to be able to resume competition play on good pitches after the end of the winter break.

The artificial turf and grass pitches are not affected by the closure.
