The sound of squeaky shoes can be heard on Erasmus Sport\u2019s indoor courts on Saturday. The competition season has been given the green light and the players couldn\u2019t be more grateful. EUR\u2019s korfball and basketball teams, which are finally allowed to enter the court again after several weeks of inaction, launch into their games with great enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

EBV Baros\u2019s men\u2019s basketball team gets off to a good start, winning its first post-lockdown match. Are they satisfied with this first result? \u201cCompletely satisfied!\u201d they all say in unison. The team was unable to meet up during the lockdown. \u201cI did do some running, but we didn\u2019t train together\u201d, says Stan, who studies criminology.<\/p>\n

As a result, their condition took a considerable hit. \u201cMost of us were exhausted after the first half\u201d, says Stan, laughing. Their faces are still red when they pose for a team photo. \u201cDo you think that photo could be photoshopped a little? We don\u2019t want to look that exhausted\u201d, yells a guy when the team run to the locker rooms.<\/p>\n

The korfball team are also ecstatic to be playing again. Unfortunately, R.S.K.V. Erasmus (playing in green shirts) are defeated by their Tilburg-based opponents in their first friendly match. Even so, Business Information Management student Roel is happy they are able to play sports together. \u201cWe may have lost this game, but what matters is that we\u2019re out playing again.\u201d Financial Economics student Roos agrees: \u201cThey are a very good team, so we more or less expected this outcome, but I\u2019m really happy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Their coach is quite impressed, either way: \u201cThey\u2019ve only been able to train together a couple of times, so they did a great job. I hope we can continue to play games, because teams visibly flourish when they can see each other more often.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the lockdown some members of the team trained together, outdoors. \u201cIt\u2019s important to keep an eye on your condition. Now that we\u2019ve begun playing again, it\u2019s obvious that everyone is struggling quite a bit, post-lockdown\u201d, says Roel. Despite the fact that indoor courts were closed during the lockdown, the team did do some team-building every once in a while. \u201cHaving a beer together now and then is the best kind of team-building exercise in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
