A great opportunity for the many sports clubs in the area, looking for new members. At the Cognac Basket Avenir booth, there were many visitors. « To inquire, ask for information, » says Sandrine Julien, a volunteer. Can the club with 400 members last year do even better? « That’s not the goal, because we would need more supervisors. The goal is to maintain the course. If the club is in high demand, it’s because we can start playing basketball at the age of 3. We focus on motor skills, with a small foam ball and a small basket. »
At the opposite stand, it is less crowded. It should be said that ultimate frisbee is a more confidential discipline. With around forty members, the Cognac Ultimate club does not despair of attracting new practitioners, starting from the age of 12. « It is a physical and technical team sport that has the particularity of being mixed and mixing generations, » notes Sandrine Ragonnaud, player and volunteer.
