Uwe Steuber from the Free Voters also emphasizes the importance of repairs during school holidays and refers to earlier success in the use of indoor use. These free offers should not only promote equality between the clubs, but also work against the lack of exercise of children and adolescents, such as Dr. Noted by Daniela Sommer (SPD).

Bastian Belz from the FDP also sees optimization potential in the new processes if the implementation should prove to be successful. However, there are also critical voices, like that of Dr. Ulrich von Nathusius (Greens), who points out that with free use, additional costs for cleaning, cooling or heating could be available to the district budget.
