The spring week of rugby, at the initiative of the League, and organized in Ariège by the departmental committee, began Monday in Tarascon-sur-Ariège, with “health rugby”. After a “demonstration” by the regulars of the US Tarascon, under the leadership of their sports educator, Hugo Klapper, the evening was extended to the François Mitterrand space for discussions around two objectives: “To present health rugby and consider its development in the department “. Welcomed by Alain Sutra, mayor, who expressed his full support for the dynamic, “born here thanks to the investment of caregivers, in particular Asalé nurses, the club, the community, and the investment of Hugo Klapper” , after an introduction by the president of CD09, Frédérick Dedieu, the floor was given to the actors. Christelle Repond then Doctor Laguerre explained how they managed to mobilize patients to practice healthy rugby. “It was not won at the start, and we thought we would mobilize former players. However, this is not the case, and if the success is there, it is above all with a predominantly female audience. The results in terms of health, physical and moral, are remarkable “. The testimony of Jean-Claude, a patient “who has come a long way, thanks to everything that the caregivers have put in place, and especially Christelle Repond, Françoise Chague and Vanessa Gachies Cortinas”, moved the audience. The clubs present, in particular those of Lower Ariège, around the Appamean SC, have expressed their interest and their desire to set up “healthy rugby” on their territory.
Develop contactless rugby
Like the presidents of US Tarascon, Michel Audabram and Mehdi Hami, present, the leaders want to open their doors to these initiatives which are part of the values carried by rugby. Frédérick Dedieu explained the action plan for the development of healthy rugby, designed by the CD09, with Doctor Pousse, from the League, at the origin of the project, and relayed in Ariège by the doctors of the committee and Hugo Klapper, sports educator, elected since the last general assembly. With Bruno Servat, he also explained the desire to develop contactless “5-a-side rugby”, which is an extension of “healthy rugby”. The evening ended with discussions, promising a bright future for “healthy rugby” in Ariège. A future in the interests of patients first and foremost. So go ahead, and, “talk to your doctor!”.
