Someone from @Education_Ire I really need it explained to me why 24 kids in my PE class at 3.44pm is fine but 12 kids at my school Basketball training in the same hall at 3.45pm is not allowed due to level 3 restrictions? I have no answer for the kids who are asking me.

We need to keep sporty kids engaged in sport at some level while clubs are shut down. If it's safe for them to be in school all day it should be safe for them to continue into the sports hall in the evening where there is lots more space and a lot less people.

Taking this away from them will have a damaging effect. Their matches are already gone. Sporty kids live for their training sessions. It seems this has been overlooked completely. If it goes on for too long we may lose more kids permanently to playstations creating more problems.

They are already full of stress due to how school life has changed. But they are doing what is asked of them, no matter how difficult it is in order to help. They will play no matches this year. Taking away their last connection to the sports they love is a massive blow to them
