Rejected petition Keep grassroots football training going throughout the current lockdown.

Rejected on 19 November 2020

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.
