When can children's indoor sports resume (England)?

I can't work it out from the roadmap.

12th March = Childcare and children’s supervised activities can also resume where necessary to enable parents to work or engage in similar activities. This suggests to me that it is just for wraparound care purposes.

12th April - Indoor leisure facilities such as gyms will also reopen (but only for use by people on their own or in household groups) No mention of children's group activities.

Then:
17th May - indoor adult group sports and exercise classes The fact that adult is specified suggests to me that children's activities will be already open at this point but I can't see anywhere that it specifies this.

Have I missed something, or is it looking like 17th May?

I've read the whole document and it's definitely 12th April. I was keen to know too, regarding dance schools.

Thank you. 12th April makes sense when you compare it to other things opening.

12th April with social distancing. Got confirmation yesterday for work. Not sure how you distance 3 year olds!

I agree with 12 April (assuming all well). This is what the roadmap says:

'All children will be able to attend any indoor children’s activity, including sport, regardless of circumstance. Parent and child groups of up to 15 people (not counting children aged under five years old) can restart indoors.'

Thank you for the quote, @Fifthtimelucky. Very helpful. I think I may have been looking at a summary.

What about swimming pools? Are they ever going to open again?

@Dustyboots swimming goes with gyms opening from 12th April.
