Tried to sign petition but was told that your organisation's certificate has been revoked and had to close the web page.

I think this is a great idea to get kids and teens into sport and fitness! I am involved in lots of sport and I will definately do even more sport!

No way, I'm not signing! I don't like sports! It's unfair on people who aren't as good at it, and it can be embarrassing as well. Well I'm not doing extra sport; next year I'm doing 1 hour a week due to taking options.
Oscar S (Age 11) wrote on Monday, 20 August 2012 @ 07:53
Done, sports are here for us to help us unite and make peace.
Lily M (Age 10) wrote on Monday, 20 August 2012 @ 10:50
I might sign up for it , I have to hope my parents agree
Charlotte C (Age 13) wrote on Tuesday, 21 August 2012 @ 20:14
I think that its a great idea to keep the Olympic spirit alive and it could mean more success for team GB in future Olympics! But also sport doesn't have to be expensive for instance i play for my local football club and it isn't expensive and you can get active in your local park for free!!!

It's only good, and I'm sure Redhorse will agree, if you like sport. I draw the Line at tennis and table tennis.

I really want to sign! if I had to describe my personallity in one word, it would be sporty. But what do you do? Do you or your perents sign? But it sounds cool!
Daisy H (Age 12) wrote on Wednesday, 17 October 2012 @ 19:00
I'm sorry, it's just not something I believe in. :(

I signed it sounds so cool I hope it goes through!

@redhorse10 wouldn't you like to let other people enjoy it, whether you like sports or not? If i didn't like sports I would sign it, because not only other people would be able to enjoy it, it would give me the chance to try new things. like, i can't swim, and where i live it is expensive for me to learn and practice, so i would love to be able to do sports for free.

Thanks redhorse! ;)
Liam S (Age 11) wrote on Saturday, 1 December 2012 @ 20:28
I may as well, I suppose it wouldn't do any harm. Don't get me wrong, some sports aren't half bad, but some are TERRIBLE!
Katie D (Age 15) wrote on Monday, 3 December 2012 @ 21:19
Musicgirl, no. No offence but I don't think people should be forced to do it if they don't want to. It's unfair on them.
Liam S (Age 11) wrote on Wednesday, 12 December 2012 @ 16:01
redhorse10. You don't have to sign if you don't want to. Musicgirl, remember that. -Buzzer

Not been on this for quite a while but thanks Buzzer. Yeah, I still don't like sports much! I wouldn't sign the petition unfortunately, even now, because I don't believe in the general idea of it myself. Fair play to those of you who want to, that's up to you, but personally it's not my thing. :)
Molly W (Age 10) wrote on Saturday, 23 March 2013 @ 11:47
i do alot of swimming but it costs 8 pound per session and i swim 3 times a week
Lucy C (Age 11) wrote on Saturday, 30 March 2013 @ 10:26
I know, swimming and other sports should be cheaper for lessons, they are telling us to do sport and it costs loads of money!!!
