Reinstate High School Sports in New York
Reinstate High School Sports in New York
Why this petition matters
The student-athletes of New York were promised a spring season where sports designated by the New York Board of Health as "High Risk" would be played. Football/Volleyball/Cheer were safely and successfully played in approximately 35 states or 70% of the country in the fall and it appears "High Risk" Winter Sports (Basketball/Hockey/Wrestling with Lacrosse in the Spring) in NY will suffer the same fate with little to no guidance or information on what classifies them as high risk or what would make them safe again.
Neighboring states like NJ/PA/CT have all been given the opportunity to play and the student-athletes of NY are looking for Sports Equality. Why is it safe to play in NJ/PA/CT and NOT in NY? The NY State Student-athletes need your help. They are suffering from increased stress, anxiety and in some cases depression. They have patiently waited 10-months for an opportunity to play. The NYS Coaches can provide a safe environment and a better alternative than continuing to have our student-athletes playing sports in unsupervised environments.
