Dear all,
I'm sure you would have read this evening's announcement about group sizes being cut once again to 2 people, which will inevitably as usual flow through to every single activity including outdoor sports.
I don't know about your children, but mine were very upset.
Whilst I can understand that the government needs a bit of time to operationally and logistically be prepared to "live with the virus" and the increase in daily cases, it is very disappointing to once again see children being penalized by disproportionally harsh measures. There is no rationale for preventing children to play sports outdoors, I'm yet to hear about a cluster that would have started at a sports facility.
Unfortunately, it is unlikely that SportSG will be able to propose its own rules and instead will have to follow the general measures imposed by the MOH. I wish those institutions could sit down to discuss and allow more flexibility for clubs so that our children can enjoy their favorite team sports in a safe environment.
Let's not give up and hope that our concerns will eventually be heard and addressed.
Keep sharing, thanks.
