Students from the private agricultural vocational high school in Frontignan organized a school rugby tournament, thus marking three years of investment under the banner "Sports l’Olympism and Paralympism" .

It was the last one as part of the Lepap (Private Agricultural Professional Education High School) Maurice-Clavel educational project in Frontignan. A trend registered for three years under the banner Let’s sport Olympism and Paralympism who proposed multiple meetings. Tuesday, May 21, Bac Pro SAPAT (Services to People and Animation in the Territories) students and their PE teachers organized, at the sports complex, an inter-college rugby 5 tournament for third year students from Simone de Beauvoir (8 teams), Sainte Thérèse (4 teams) and Lycée Maurice Clavel (4 teams).

Rugby to touch

Throughout the day, budding rugby players competed in the touch rugby competition, during eight-minute matches, on the synthetic grass of the Muscatier complex. All arbitrated by the organizers. The competition table is also held by young people from Lepap. "We try as much as possible to make mixed teams", specified Antoine Cutrupi , sports teacher at Maurice-Clavel.

Awareness workshops

The teams that did not have the ball in their hands did not remain inactive, however. As in the two previous editions, quizzes were offered to them (on the practice of rugby and Olympics) as well as various workshops to raise awareness of Paralympism such as sitting volleyball, blind football and even goal ball. A seated tennis stand (on fixed chairs) with paddle rackets was also at their disposal.

45 students at the Paralympic Games

In any case, all these certified projects over the past three years will allow 45 Lepap students to attend, for three days in Paris, in September, three events of the Paralympic Games: tennis- wheelchair at Roland-Garros, blind football at the Champ de Mars, and wheelchair basketball at Bercy. Funding will be done in particular via the profits from the refreshments run by the students since the Firn took place in the establishment. The aperitif, in moderation, during the International Black Novel Festival this weekend will therefore have solidarity virtues.
