What the petition asks

Enable grassroots football training to keep going in an already COVID secure way, within lockdown commencing on 05/11/20
Please for the health, mentally and socially keep grassroots football training on during the lockdown with the current COVID secure measures in place. Children made to be at school within a classroom indoors of 30+ each day. At football training children are in smaller groups & outdoors. They need to keep some normality in their lives. Let them have fun in a secure environment, keeping safe. Do not punish them anymore with taking this freedom away if it’s done in a safe and secure environment.
