We, the student-athletes and adherents to fall sports and activities in St. Louis County, petition for the Department of Public Health to allow schools to begin competing in fall sports. The St. Louis County Department of Health is ignoring the advice of the St. Louis Sports Medicine Covid-19 Task Force who have outlined a plan to play fall sports. Every school in St. Louis County, including K-12 and both public and private, reported ONLY 39 students testing positive for COVID-19 in the month of August. 

Every week that goes by without competing is another week gone that high school student-athletes will never get back. Student-athletes in St. Louis County deserve the same right to play as those in St. Charles County and across the country. Sign this petition to voice your support for the St. Louis County Department of Public Health to allow schools to begin competing in fall sports.
