P-05-1051 Allow Welsh junior athletes to train with the same covid regulations as equivalent English juniors

This petition was submitted by Andrew Brown having collected a total of 219 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

My sons will be playing basketball in this years English national league which starts in November.

English junior athletes are already playing practice matches in training but Welsh children can't even share a ball in training.

This puts Welsh junior athletes at a huge disadvantage compared to England's.

This is happening in all junior sports clubs inc netball, rugby and volleyball.

Welsh Government must align our regulations with juniors of England to make it equal for the children.
