Allow children in grassroots sport to continue training during Covid-19 lockdown

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow children in grassroots sport to continue training during Covid-19 lockdown to avoid physical and mental health impact to the future generations.

At a time when childhood obesity is already a huge concern in the UK, preventing children from attending training sessions for outdoor sports will affect their physical and mental fitness and cause future health concerns and pressure on our national health service. If indoor classroom and physical education schooling is allowed, why should grassroots outdoor sport not be able to continue within the frameworks that have already been set out by the relative professional bodies?
