    You thinking of coming to HK? You need to have a visa of some sort first.

    Getting a court on a regular basis is also a problem. There are scalpers working on booking public courts. Coaches are having a hard time finding courts. One of the coaches was telling me she could only get one hour in a morning whereas before pandemic times it was three hours.

    USA citizens don't need a visa to stay in HK For less than 90 days

    There is a Facebook group called "Hong Kong quarantine support group". They will have more updated information on whether a US tourist can come to HK visa free.

    Coming from US or Thailand? You'll be quarantined for 14 days at least.

    It is very difficult to book courts nowadays. These scalpers would camp outside the leisure center to book courts for basketball / volleyball. However, I saw a coach who were in a court at least over 4hrs last week.

    Yes. The scalpers would rather sell a basketball court as it gets them more profit. Badminton coaches are queuing overnight to get courts.

    Damn right. I know one of the coach camp outside 2am at their own club house to book a court.

    Cheung, where do you play?

    Is that Laguna?

    I get to play in different places usually as a spare leg. Last time I was spare leg in HK Park.

    How about yourself?
