Why this petition matters

Started by Jan Atkins

Kids up to the age of 18 are being stopped from playing in established sports teams if they live across a border from the team's base even if both counties are the same Tier level.  This rule from the Goverment is stopping some kids from joining in team training and matches whilst others can continue as usual.  Some of these kids go to school together yet cannot play a team sport outside of school.

Being 'left out of the team' in this way is putting huge additional emotional stress onto children who are already struggling with the mental and physical stresses of these unprecedented times.

PLEASE LET THE KIDS PLAY THEIR SPORT.  The parents can be told to stay away from the game to stop the spread but sporty kids need their sport.
