Paul Arnaud Kamon, director of senior teams and CRAC project manager, was delighted with the “success” of this first edition.

This is one of the areas that we have been developing for a long time, especially in this sports car,” he explained.
According to him, it is true that there is a national women’s rugby championship in which these girls take part, but this tournament is intended to be a platform of expression only for these girls. ”It’s a platform where these players will enjoy playing but understand that they have support, that they can count on people who are ready to give them advice and guidance,” he said. .
According to the director of senior teams and CRAC project manager, this day was the culmination of three intense days of personal development.
