UNSS sports associations in middle and high schools must organize themselves and face health measures that prohibit the practice of collective sports disciplines. They are no longer authorized because of Covid 19. The obligation of physical distancing hinders the practice of sports such as basketball, handball, football and rugby in particular which are usually very popular. “All inter-establishment meetings are also suspended to limit the mixing of students. Pending new authorizations, the UNSS is trying to be imaginative and gives itself the means to achieve this by maintaining the practice of a physical activity for the many graduates “indicates Vincent Alvarez, departmental director of the UNSS. And to add: “the teachers of PE have the possibility of setting up remote challenges in their establishments with for example run and bike, cross, athletics and triathlon if they wish it. For the Wednesday sessions usually Very popular with hundreds of license holders, it is possible to offer various workshops such as table tennis, gymnastics, badminton, orienteering, in short, activities that respect distance. ” Containment is due to end on December 1, but within the UNSS we fear that the situation will continue. “We are surely moving towards new directives. Which ones, we do not know exactly, but we must pay tribute to the PE teachers who exercise their profession in new and sometimes complicated conditions. We must always adapt by thinking that ‘ with the absence of supervised physical activities, young people can be left to their own devices for a wild practice of sport. Or they no longer practice at all. We are also witnessing a significant drop in licensing in the department within the sports association of his college or high school. ” Pamiers is no exception to the phenomenon and now has 757 licenses compared to 853 at the same time last year. A figure revised downwards which will obviously have difficulty in leaping if the practice of collective sports disciplines is still prohibited at school.
