Parents banned from cheering children at sports club

Too much pressure is being put on the children, argue officials

Tweet
Posted: 22 September 2010
by Matt Fricker

A group of mums and dads have claimed that they’ve been banned from cheering their children on at an after school sports club, reports the Mirror.

The ban, which has angered parents, has been enforced by Coventry Sports Foundation. The foundation insists that children should have a more relaxing environment to play in.

"While safeguarding the children taking part in these sessions is of paramount importance, this is only a small part of the reason for adopting this policy,” explained a spokesman for the foundation.

"These sessions aim to provide a relaxing environment for youngsters to enjoy a range of different activities from an early age.”

Crazy, or for the childrens’s good? Tell us what you think…
