Phase in participation sports
Many participation sports operate with 2 metre distancing as the existing norm. Tennis is one such example. Please consider an early date for it's restart. Playing tennis in late February and early March, shaking of hands had already been replaced by racquet touching. For younger people, Cricket, at club level should be reintroduced, providing modifications can take place for wicket celebrations, for example, and use of changing rooms. I would hope that Badminton too, would follow, with new procedures in place.
Why the contribution is important
Taking part in a sport for any age group is beneficial to mental and physical health. Being deprived it, stores up problems of general health & wellbeing, that will increase susceptibility to disease, and increase the risk of suicide & self-harm. Some sports are more suitable for a phased earlier restart.
