Two Decades of Shared Accents in Montbazon Archery
The sports clubs Les Archers and Les Apaches de Montbazon are celebrating more than two decades of shared history, community spirit, and athletic camaraderie in Montbazon, France.
Operating out of a shared facility, the dual-club structure unites archery enthusiasts of varying disciplines under a single collaborative roof.
Dual Affiliations Under One Roof
According to official club documentation, Les Apaches de Montbazon operates as an affiliate of the UFOLEP, catering to local sport and leisure participants with a governing bureau composed of 15 members.
Alongside it, Les Archers de Montbazon is officially affiliated with the FFTA (Fédération Française de Tir à l’Arc).
A Unified Operational Footprint
Despite their distinct governing affiliations, the organizations function as a unified entity on the ground.
Records show that the leadership team—including the president, treasurer, and secretary—serves both clubs simultaneously. The two organizations share the exact same training facilities, equipment, and resources in Montbazon.
Executive Leadership and Certified Coaching
The operational leadership of the dual-club structure relies on a dedicated team of certified coaches and administrators.
Thierry Olivier serves as president while holding a Level 1 coaching qualification. Lysiane Olivier manages finances as treasurer, and Alexis Moulins acts as secretary alongside his credentials as a federal coach. The executive board also features Alain Van Der Linde as vice president of the Archers, and Éric Bourdon as vice president of the Apaches and a federal coach.
Expanded Administrative and Instructor Support
Additional administrative and coaching support includes Vanessa Moulins as assistant treasurer, Doriane Echouard as assistant secretary and federal instructor, Jean-Jacques Brossard as an animateur, Bruno Duchiron as an animateur and federal instructor, Mireille Motteau as an animateur, and Emmanuel Richard as a federal instructor.
Pooling Resources for Regional Athletes
Over the past twenty years, this collaborative framework has allowed local athletes in Montbazon to access both leisure-oriented multi-sport programming and competitive, FFTA-sanctioned archery training within the same community venue.
The milestone celebration highlights the enduring stability of a model that pools administrative effort and equipment to serve regional sports participants.
