Get prepared before games and practice so the kids don't spend as much time in the locker room. This will allow them to play while ensuring that they are as socially distanced as possible.
Just so you know...
We asked sport parents like you about their kids' activity this past year. It was revealed that 75% of parents agree their kids have been less active, 77% have replaced physical activity with more screen time, and 63% feel this has had a negative impact on mental health. It’s clear that sport fills an incredibly important role in the mental and physical health of children.
