The Australian representative of softball has been staying in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, which is the host town of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, for a preliminary training camp from June 1st, and is practicing and playing games at the stadium in the city.



Until now, Ota City had not released the practice to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, but on the 15th, it was released for the first time because it was ready to prevent infection.

At the entrance to the stadium, all visitors, including the press, submitted a written pledge about their health and disinfected their hands.



On the ground, all the players in yellow uniforms wore masks and practiced, and in batting practice after stretching and light running, they shot sharp balls with powerful swings.

A practice match between the Australian national team and the business team is also being held on the 15th, and five matches will be released, with the maximum number of spectators being 500.



Hidetoshi Osawa, Chief of the Culture and Sports General Affairs Division of Ota City, said, "We will continue to take all possible measures to prevent infection so that we can welcome customers."
