We have been informed today, 15 Feb 2021, that the inline hockey court has been selected to be a vaccination centre from 28th Feb to end of Oct 2021.

This means no inline hockey in Singapore for the next 8 months.

Although we completely support the Singapore government's efforts to roll out the vaccines to as many people as possible quickly, we do believe that there are many other alternative locations that can be used instead of our only inline hockey court in Singapore.

For example, here are a some possible locations:

• Tennis courts next to the inline hockey court at OTH (there are many available tennis courts in Singapore)
• Previous Tampines Central CC sports hall at blk 866A, tampines street 83, which has been vacated and unused for the last few years
• Air conditioned multi event halls at the OTH.
• Tampines Central CC event halls and rooms which are unused on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the OTH which were used previously for the mask distribution exercise.

All of these alternate locations can be secured and would be safer to store vaccines supplies and equipment rather than our hockey court which is only secured by a fence and combination number lock.

If the inline hockey court is to be used as a vaccination centre, we believe we should also be provided an alternative location with our fibreglass dasher boards and sport court flooring
