Text of petition:

As a Coach of a under 10s rugby team. I have first hand experienced and witnessed the positive impact Rugby has on children in there sporting development, social skills, mental wellbeing and life skills.
*I have noticed during my time as a coach that very few primary schools in Wales offer rugby.
*Schools unfortunately do not prioritise rugby and is often an after thought.
*Children are not given the opportunity to fall in love with the sport from a young age.

Additional information:

In addition to my above points. I believe this contributes to the demise of rugby in Wales as a whole. To which we are seeing the results of.

I am hugely passionate about Rugby and the benefits that it brings to children and I believe should form part of their primary education.
