This petition has one purpose: To allow our children to play outdoor youth sports without a mask during game play and practice. That's it.
Outdoor sports are necessary and vital to Washington's youth. This pandemic has taken an especially high toll on our youth. Outdoor youth sports provide the next generation one of the safest options to connect with peers and exercise. However, it is uncomfortable and dangerous to keep a mask on during game play and active practice. The danger increases during extreme weather such as heat and rain.
This petition is NOT anti-mask. We are not asking relief from any other COVID-19 rules and regulations. We are not asking for changes in rules for coaches, fans, or players on the sidelines.We respectfully ask that Governor Inslee and the Washington State Legislature take action now to keep our young athletes safe while competing and practicing.

I am currently organizing the data from our signatures to prepare a formal letter for the Governor’s office. Legal counsel is reviewing the specific health mandates to ensure our request aligns with current safety arguments. Expect a report on the next steps for delivery once the documentation is finalized.

My daughter plays club soccer and she struggles to catch her breath with these things on. It is time to stop this nonsense.
Our children not only physical health but mental/emotional health should be considered. Many children will not play if required to wear a mask during practice and games. As a parent to a child who suffers from anxiety, depression, and the many physical harms that come with that, please fight for those lives too.
RIDICULOUS. Kids need to run and play like normal. Enough is enough.
Please roll back to how it was in the fall. My son will not participate in soccer now the new restrictions in place.
I feel they need to play without a mask. Especially children with Asthma or other medical issues they may have.
Kids don’t need masks while playing. Let them breathe!

My son has asthma and this makes it so hard for him to play. Just let them play sports without the masks outside where it is safe.
