What the petition asks
We feel it is only right for all Adults & Children to be able to carry on with Grassroots Football whilst in Lockdown. All clubs have guidelines which they follow in a safe way and it is proven to be safe outdoors.
It is well known that outdoor transmission of the Covid 19 is minimal if at all happening. All grassroots football clubs have guidelines & processes in place to make football safe.
Benefits:
Physical health maintained or increased during restrictions
Mental health maintained or increased due to social aspect of sport & looking forward to the activity each week.
Improves parents mental health. Taking your child & watching your child will support adult mental health
