Petition Action

Allow outdoor grassroot youth sport to continue during national lockdowns

Petition Details

1. Allow grassroot youth clubs and teams who play and train outside to continue to do so during the lockdown period.

2. Work with local sporting associations to provide guidance about how to make such events Covid secure.

Additional Information

The mental wellbeing and physical health of the nation's children should be highly considered in any governmental decision when imposing a national lockdown. Children are safe to go to school. Thus, all outdoor grassroot youth sport (U-18) should be allowed to continue.

Numerous youth sporting organisations are already applying strict Covid rules which minimise numbers of spectators and adheres to social distancing.

Our children need their physical and mental health safeguarded.
