Allow Omarie Youth Football Academy C​.​I​.​C to continue to use Meridian Sport club's

The Issue

Hi my name is Omarie Keita and I am the director and founder of Omarie Youth Football Academy C.I.C. I am based in south east London. I roughly have 200 youths  signed under my academy from various backgrounds between the ages of 3-26 years old. My aim for starting this academy was to help young youths stay active and positive by doing something which they enjoy which is football. I have 4 teams currently playing in the Selkent League. The Chairman  of Meridian Sports centre in charlton has issued me with a letter on the 18/12/19 stating that I can no longer use their facilities to continue to train my players and play matches from the 3rd January 2020. The reasoning behind this is discriminatory. Can you please sign my petition so that more young youths do not resort to turning to negative activities on the streets due to my regular place of training being taken away from me unfairly. I currently hold training  sessions at the Meridian Sports Centre three times a week, twice a day. My training uses up the extra energy that most young boys have which if they are not able to access, this energy may start to be used in an unproductive way. Please support a good cause and help our youth to keep engaged in a positive sport.
