| 52 | Anonymous | I agree with a trophy per child but also think that competition is right especially for boys who have already started tournamnets |
| 53 | Zoe Wallace | let the kidz play |
| 54 | ashley lawson | the players look forward to these competative competitions each year. i can only see positive sides |

| 56 | Chris Griffiths | everybody has to learn to lose with grace and win with respect to others. Why stop children learning this at mini football level? they will only be attracted to other sports where they can feel these emotions, then where are we going to find the next giggsy. |
| 57 | michelle dolan | as a coach of an under 9`s team , i am shocked by the decision , my boys look forward to football tournaments as its an extra chance for them to play football. |

| 59 | John Wheadon | I agree that mini-football teams should be entitled in enter competitve football tournaments after the conclusion of each season. |

| 61 | W.E. Gibson | Can those responsible explain how the age of 11 is acceptable for competition whilst under that age is not, does some divine justment make competitioon acceptable? |
| 62 | Ang Lewis | Some form of competition is healthy for all children it gives them the determination to aim for higher aspects of life.These tournaments are a healthy and fun way of doing this...Remember a child learns through play and this helps them to develop skills that will be transfered in to adult hood. My son is never going to be a "footballer" but the enjoyment he gets from team participation in huge,it does'nt matter if he wins or not( more likely not). |

| 64 | David Beer | I cant believe that the FAW is so short sighted as whenever you get two teams playing against each other the game is competitive. Many teams will not hold tournaments this year because of this ruling and may be forced out of existence because of lack of funds due to this poorly thought out idea. |

| 66 | Robert Reed | This decision to ban soccer tournaments is just one more reason as to why this country under achieves at most sports. The kids must not be competeitive in schools and now outside of school. These kids are the future of football and if they are not allowed to be competitive now, they won't be ready for when it really matters in later years, such as senior league or possibly professional club trials. The FAW must understand that just turning up to play for fun all the time will eventually produce kids with no concept of determination or achievement and will ultimately create the demise of Welsh soccer. |

| 70 | adriano luzzi | Allowing children to be competitive sometimes gives them the drive and ambition for work and play. If there is nothing to achieve they won't play as well. |

| 78 | sean coughlan | i have been involved in holding and attending several tournaments the last few years and the one thing i have found is that kids enjoy being competetive. the trouble is the people who are in control have all the aces and unfortunately there is nothing we can do as club representatives, coaches and more important parents make them listen to reason. hopefully this petition will help do just that because i am sure that when it comes to making sure what's best for our kids then the decision should be with the parent to allow the child to play a competetive tournament or not. |

| 82 | Alison Dahlgren | Whilst I completely agree with equal football for all during the season, out of season tournaments help to keep children motivated and interested during the summer months. Children enjoy competition and no-one is forced to enter if they don't want to. |

| 90 | Anonymous | Does this ban include Welsh Schools Football at Under 11i.e Tom Yoeman shield? |
| 91 | Anonymous | Let the children play. |

| 93 | Janice John | America and Russia are so good at their sports cos they start their children competing very young. Its okay for children to learn to lose as well as win. |
| 94 | Mark Thomas | Children need to learn to win and LOSE. Life is a competition. Effort needs to be rewarded- why try when if it doesn't matter. Should goals and footballs be removed? We are becoming too PC. When football becomes 11 a side no one will know how to become winners. |

| 98 | Andrew Biston | The children are being deprived of what they enjoy - they are naturally competitive and laerning to win and lose is good for their development. Why bother keeping score if there are no winners or losers. No wonder Wales never qualify for the world cup. |

| 100 | helen mudie | I think this ban is torally ridculous and no matter what is said children are competitive/ |
