Allow supervised COVID secure youth team sports to continue beyond 5th November

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Sport is important for the physical and mental health of young people and since the summer it has been shown that team sports can be organised in a Covid secure way. The government is keeping schools open during the proposed COVID lockdown from 5 November to 2 December 2020.
We would ask that they also allow structured and supervised youth teams sports to continue as well
