Pune: Temperature checks, hand sanitizer channels in hostels, pitch-side and dining areas, RTPCR tests, and quarantine cells are among the precautions taken by the organisers of the fifth SNBP All-India Hockey Tournament (Boys' Under-16), which begins on Tuesday. In total, 24 teams will compete in the fifth edition of the tournament, which is the country's only prize-money hockey tournament for under-16s. The tournament, which is sanctioned by Hockey India, will take place from November 9 to 15 at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Mhalunge-Balewadi.

The organisers, the S.E. Society's SNBP Group of Institutes, have made arrangements in accordance with Hockey India's SOPs and the guidelines set by the Pune Municipal Corporation, as this is the first invitational tournament for the under-16 age group in the state since the Covid-19 relaxation (PMC).

The organisers have partnered with a local hospital to ensure that safety precautions are in place both on and off the field. The participants' temperatures will be taken, and they will be required to use a hand sanitizer stationed at the hostels, pitch side, and in the dining area. Flex has also been installed throughout the hostel campus and ground area.
