Saturday, from 10 am to 5 pm, the badminton club of Gien was installed on the place Jean-Jaurès to offer initiations, and especially to have a certain visibility.
This third session of the summer was important for Stéphane Besmond, the president of the Giennese club, who is still worried about the loss of licensees that the club suffered last year.
Two lands

in front of the paddle
Kim Nivault, president of the Center-Val de Loire league, explains: “The cost of the license has decreased because the federation, the league and the club have each reduced their share. You need the health pass to play in a club except for children under 12 years old. “
Stéphane Besmond continues: “We will see if the public will come back to the club. Last year, we kept the competitors and the children. But the recreational players or those who did only a few competitions had not returned. “
Saturday’s demonstration was also an opportunity to test air badminton, which is played outdoors, with special shuttlecocks.
In addition, Stéphane Besmond specifies that the town hall is building two badminton courts, opposite the padel courts (on the site of the Tennis club of Gien, chemin des Moulins): “There will be a sand court. and hard ground. “
Various training sessions are offered during the week in Gien, Nevoy, Autry-le-Châtel or Poilly-lez-Gien.
