> for German sports halls in schools, tagging a single covered pitch would not usually be a nice representation, because these places are optimized for versatility: you can do a lot of different sports, and you will usually find several overlapping pitches (marked in different colors). There will also be equipment for gymnastics (high bar, parallel bars, mattresses, ropes, ...) and whatever is taught.

I have been mapping overlapping sports pitches for a while now.
All from satellite imagery so outside.

The advantage of mapping them individually is that you can see for one configuration if one tennis court is in use you cannot use the netball or basketball courts as either tennis court over laps both of them, or the tennis court only overlaps one of them leaving the other side free. Of course the configuration is fixed by the line makings and equipment provisions.

I don't think there is a way of tagging many of the individual gymnastic sports, most can be moved some as fixed.

Different line colours can be mapped as there are tags for it. The basketball and netball wiki pages have the tag descriptions for the line marking, hoops etc.



Some outside pitches have a roof over them for sun/rain, so I'd think that is where the tag for covered=yes comes from.
