KIDS IN SPORTS STAY OUT OF COURTS.

Please sign this petition so New Zealand sports remove the vaccine mandate for children under the age of 18. We may not be the only parents who have our reasons or their may be thousands of you out there who are wanting to speak up. If you want to jump on board lets do it and produce the signatures to NZ Sports.

Here is why !

Speaking as a parent we have chosen not to allow our eldest child to be vaccinated until we feel comfortable as parents that it wont effect their " potential " medical condition that runs in the family. We as parents understand the pandemic , we understand the vaccination and are not against the vaccine.. The thing that raises our concern is that a child now has to be fully vaccinated from the age of 12 to play in any New Zealand Sport. _ Mandated

We may not be the only family in New Zealand who have reservations about the potential of any IF any long term effects this vaccine may have. Vaccinating your child during a clinical trial may be a tough decision for some, family's will have so many different reasons why they have or haven't vaccinated their child and that is their privacy and that is your right as a human . I feel in adults making this decision was easy but when it comes to your child especially with what you read nowadays questions do get asked and there is not many answers.

Being a teenager is hard enough and to be excluded from any sport because this decision has not yet been made is criminal. Children are fit & healthy humans who pose no threat to our community, statistically world wide this has been proven. Children who are not vaccinated have now been singled out by their sports team and school which may lead to bullying , bullying may then lead to suicide. 

Children's mental health is so important in their hormonal development and this should not be overlooked.

When your child makes a commitment to play a sport, it's not just about being in the best team, scoring all the tries or getting all the goals.

These kids are learning they need to be somewhere at a certain time, how to stand in line, how to be quiet while their coach talks, how to share, how to listen, how to make friends, how to be in a team and how to win and lose.

Most of these kids heading to the grounds/courts on Saturday & Sunday mornings might never be in the All Blacks or Silver Ferns but they will have a bunch of skills other kids won't, simply from taking part.

When you look at the faces of the kids, you can see they love it. Why wouldn't they? They're running around with their mates, they get delicious oranges at half-time and sometimes treats at the end of the game.

They usually get their hands on a player of the day trophy for a week making them feel proud, they get to go to fun tournaments and events .

Your child may be going through personal issues and there only release is sports, they might no be intitled to a medical exemption because lets be honest who is ! 

If there is nothing to do , no sports or activities then I guarantee you that the crime rate will go up .

Lets keep our kids active...

Thankyou
