This is the sports editorial of Virginie Phulpin. The CNOSF, the French Olympic movement, wants a relaxation of health measures in sports clubs. For you, if we really want France to become a sporting nation, we should in particular review the case of the health pass for minors in clubs.

It is not a question of questioning everything, but of asking for a little flexibility. The health pass for 12-17 year olds in sports clubs must be put in place at the end of the month. Why not wait until the end of October as requested by the CNOSF? Let's take an example. A 13-year-old college student participates in PE classes at his institution. He has sports lessons on Monday afternoon. We do not ask him for a health pass, of course, there is not one for the students at school. The bell rings at 4.30 p.m. The child in question stays in the gym because he continues with his basketball training with his club. And there, we will ask him for a health pass at the end of the month. Admit that this is confusing and that it is difficult to justify for the clubs in front of their public.And it is a brake on the recovery after 18 months of health crisis. Many clubs are financially strapped, they have lost volunteers, so it's difficult to put in place the controls, and then seduce new members under these conditions, it only complicates their task. The government prefers the health pass rather than having to close the clubs again in two months. It gets along. But there, the situation has improved significantly, so why not wait until the end of October for this health pass for minors? Let everyone have time to turn around. Because there are a lot of children who have had their first injection of the vaccine. It would be a shame to prevent them from practicing a sporting activity until their vaccination is complete. Otherwise, we are not sure to see them again in the clubs.Many clubs are financially strapped, they have lost volunteers, so it's difficult to put in place the controls, and then seduce new members under these conditions, it only complicates their task.

Jean-Michel Blanquer also says that it can change

Yes it is rather a good sign and that is why we must insist. Looking ahead to Paris 2024, France has found a slogan. Become a true sports nation. Very well. But it is not by putting sticks in the wheels of the clubs right now that we will get there. These sports associations need to get back on their feet, so let's not put their heads under water just yet. You know that the government has implemented the Sport Pass, a financial aid for low-income families to register their children for a sporting activity. It takes a little time to set up, that's normal. But by the end of October, that should be fixed. As much as the sanitary pass occurs at the same time. It will be much better accepted by families. We help you, but we also ask for an effort.Becoming a sporting nation also means adapting to the situation and to the feedback we may have from the field.
