« Terrain Commun »: a new milestone for inclusive sport

Enabling more young people with disabilities to take part in sport on a lasting basis: this is the milestone reached by ATTRAP'LA BALLE with « Terrain Commun »🎾

On 21 October in Décines-Charpieu, at the Country Club All In Group, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Marie-Cécile Tardieu, Managing Director of the French National Sports Agency, Renaud Pfeffer, Vice-President of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, and Jérôme MOROGE, Vice-President of the Lyon Metropolitan Authority, gathered to launch the programme and sign a three-year development agreement. The event was coordinated by Yann Le Faou, Director of the Attrap'la Balle association.

Sébastien ROUZAIRE, founder of Kerius Finance, was also in attendance to demonstrate our support for the association.

For Attrap’la Balle, this agreement marks a significant step forward: moving from initial local initiatives to a structured national rollout.

Specifically, «Terrain Commun » will make it possible to introduce a shared teaching approach, support each young person as they progress and create pathways into sports clubs.

🎯 The first objective: to support more than 2,000 young people aged 6 to 20 every year by the end of the three-year rollout.

As Jo-Wilfried Tsonga highlighted, tennis is also a means of fostering independence, confidence and connections with others. On the courts, interactions between young people with and without disabilities, alongside Sofiya, an emerging wheelchair tennis player, and Sander Anglade, world runner-up in deaf and hard-of-hearing tennis, brought this ambition to life.

At Kerius Finance, we believe in the value of long-term support. This is also what drives our commitment to Attrap’la Balle: helping make sport accessible and supporting young people in developing their confidence and independence.

Seeing this initiative take on a national dimension gives new significance to the project we support. We are proud to continue our commitment alongside the association.

Congratulations to the association’s teams and to everyone involved, with the support of the French National Sports Agency, Marie-Cécile Tardieu and Aude Amadou, as well as the local authorities involved.

Making sport accessible means creating the conditions for everyone to find their place.
