DETAILED FIELD INITIATIVES IN THE EURE
The Traveling Summer Tennis Caravan
Every July, our dedicated team of volunteer coaches loads our mobile equipment trailer with thirty portable mini-nets, two hundred junior racquets, and dozens of crates of low-compression felt balls. Over a two-week period, the caravan stops at eight different rural communes across the Eure that lack permanent tennis clubs.
In partnership with local town halls (mairies), we transform school playgrounds, municipal basketball courts, or village green spaces into temporary tennis learning centers. Children from farming families and small villages spend the afternoon learning fundamental forehands, backhands, and volleys. At the end of each session, every participating child receives a free tennis racquet and practice ball to take home, ensuring that their athletic journey continues long after the caravan departs.
Volunteer Referee & Match Official Academy
A vibrant tournament circuit cannot function without knowledgeable, fair-minded arbiters. Our Refereeing Commission runs free weekend training modules for amateur officials. Courses cover match regulation interpretation, tiebreak scoring protocols, time management rules, and dispute de-escalation techniques.
Participants receive official federation-certified accreditation as Level 1 Arbiters (A1) and Junior Tournament Referees (JAT1). By removing all certification fees and providing free rulebooks, we have trained more than eighty active volunteer umpires in the Eure, giving young athletes a respected leadership role in regional sports governance.
Municipal Court Restoration Working Bees
Many small villages in Normandy struggle to finance the ongoing upkeep of asphalt and concrete tennis courts built in the 1980s and 1990s. When weeds crack the surface or posts lose tension, courts are frequently padlocked or abandoned.
Our committee organizes collective "Court Restoration Bees" (Chantiers Participatifs). We supply specialized industrial surface cleaners, crack-filler compounds, replacement net posts, and heavy-duty UV-stabilized nets. Local volunteers, club players, and municipal workers join forces for a single weekend of rigorous manual refurbishment, returning forgotten courts to active community use at a fraction of commercial contractor costs.
