Resumption of Some Non-contact Sports
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the resumption of some non-contact outdoor sports where social distancing can be practised, including golf, tennis, archery and water sports; acknowledges the benefits of sport and exercise to physical and mental health as well as the sense of community that can come from a shared interest; recognises that the ability to participate in sports such as these will provide a physical and emotional outlet for people; hopes that their resumption will encourage more people to take up new sports; notes the significant challenges faced by sports clubs and facilities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and appreciates their continued efforts to ensure all people have safe access to sport and physical activity.
