French sports clubs launch seasonal training and initiation programs

Local sports clubs in France are launching seasonal activities and initiation programs for the new term.

In Doué-en-Anjou, the Rugby School is resuming training at the Marcel Habert stadium starting September 5. The club is participating in the 10th edition of the National Week of Rugby Schools, an initiative by the French Rugby Federation to promote the sport. The event encourages current members to invite friends aged 5 to 14 to discover rugby through introductory sessions.

Meanwhile, Aviron Cadurcien is offering rowing sessions on the Lot river throughout September. The club is providing three free trial sessions for children and adolescents aged 10 and older. Additionally, in partnership with the Lot Departmental Rowing Committee, the club is hosting free initiation days every Saturday in September for the general public, provided participants know how to swim.
