Our Mission
CDET COMITE DEP DE L EURE DE TENNIS promotes public health, youth empowerment, and broad athletic participation by expanding access to tennis infrastructure and structured sports programs across the Eure department. Operating under the Normandy Tennis League, our departmental committee coordinates, supports, and unifies local sports clubs to ensure inclusive athletic opportunities for individuals of all ages, skill levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We deliver significant community benefit by hosting inclusive tournaments, training grassroots coaches, supporting youth development initiatives, and maintaining high standards of sports facility management. By facilitating collaborative networks among member associations, we foster social cohesion, combat sedentary lifestyles, and instill core values of sportsmanship, discipline, and healthy living across every commune of the Eure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING TENNIS IN THE EURE
Practical answers to questions asked by parents, club secretaries, municipal representatives, and adult learners across Normandy.
How does a child in a rural village without a sports club participate in tennis?
Our committee operates the Traveling Summer Tennis Caravan, which visits rural communes free of charge. Additionally, we provide free loaner equipment kits to local primary schools and assist families with carpooling networks to connect them with neighboring community tennis clubs.
Are the committee's educational guides truly free of charge?
Yes, absolutely. As a non-commercial public-interest sports organization, we do not sell digital products or charging fees for instructional materials. All curriculum guides, rulebooks, and technical manuals are provided free of charge to any teacher, coach, or resident upon request.
Can an adult with no prior sports experience join the Health Tennis program?
Yes! Our Health Tennis programs are specifically designed for beginners, older adults, and individuals recovering from illness or physical inactivity. Sessions focus on gentle rallies, social connection, and mild mobility drills using soft, low-pressure foam balls that are gentle on joints.
How can a municipal council request assistance to inspect or repair a village court?
Municipal leaders or elected sport delegates can contact our Secretariat in Poses via our contact portal. Our technical commission will schedule an on-site visit to inspect the playing surface, evaluate drainage and perimeter fencing, and provide a clear, non-commercial rehabilitation roadmap.
