This petition is to ask all schools to LET THE KIDS PLAY Immediately.
Start Immediately allowing all schools in Colorado to begin summer practices for All sports ( contact and non contact). The YOUTH COVID numbers are low, restrictions are being lifted in surrounding states with no outbreaks and kids are wanting to play. Sports are vital for our children’s mental, emotional and physical well-being; not to mention keeps them out of trouble.
The recent decisions of kids to participate in Practices ran by kids at a local park. And have had no issues of Covid or drama. There are no referees, no coaches, no parental guidance, no rules, no regulations and no social distancing. In the student’s eyes it is a success because they are able to exercise, socialize and compete in a sport they love.
From a parent’s prospective, if I want to be responsible for my kids health that’s my choice along with coaches choice if they want to be there .Since many schools will not have practice the whole Summer the kids have decided to continue to plan Practices the rest of the summer;
There is a solution to this! School districts we are asking you to trust your coaches and school staff to make the best social distancing plan possible and allow the kids to start practicing Immediately.For the safety of our kids, it is in their best interest to be in a controlled, safe environment with social distancing guidelines under trained coaching staff rather than allow kids to create events on their own. This will allow parents the right to make the best decisions whether or not to allow their kids to participate. With your help, you can reduce the amount of COVID cases in our community by having kids attend practice at school in a safe environment.
Your community, your parents, & your students believe starting immediately would be the best for our kids. We are willing to sign waivers to LET THE KIDS PLAY

Let each school decide after the parents and students have had a voice in the decision. Have guidelines for an outbreak, but let the kids go to school and have their sports.
It is our right as parents to allow our children to play any sport we deem fit for them. We are tax paying American citizens and we demand our children to play sports as other children are playing in other States.
My boys need sports! I believe all sports help keep kids out of trouble! It’s an organization that books kids responsible and helps them with discipline! This isn’t a republican vs democratic thing! This is an absolute must! We’ve ridden out the covid train too far!
Overall well being of kids needs to be considered. Sports should be allowed to resume. Kids are very low risk for serious effects from covid. Kids or parents that do not feel comfortable can not participate. This not only affects their well being but the work they have been putting in to further their career beyond HS if they wish. Let them play!
YES, please let our kids play.... my kids miss their teammates and are struggling training by themselves.
Let them play!!
Let them All play!!

Allow our kids to get back to normal. As a Psychiatric Registered Nurse, I can assure you, these closures are creating long term mental health issues for our next generation. Untreated childhood trauma before the age of 10 will lead to severe adult mental health challenges. These lockdowns are most definitely considered trauma.
