@jethro: no need to create a second, identical question. we can just continue trying to figure it out here.
3 volleybalvelden in de breedte of 1 centraal gelegen volleybalveld =
3 volleyball fields across the width of the larger field or 1 centraly located volleyball field
1 trainingsveld in de breedte of 1 centraal gelegen veld voor wedstrijden =
1 training field across the width of the larger field or 1 centrally located field for competitions
Obviously just guessing like you.
1 trainingsveld in de breedte of 1 centraal gelegen veld voor wedstrijden??? 1 training field “side by side”???
