QUADRUGBY TOURNAMENT

  • The ER7 commits to contribute to developing physical activities and sports for people with disabilities. To prove that a disability is not an obstacle especially in sports, a quad rugby tournament which is a very impressive Paralympic sport will be added to the tournament and will take place at the Carihem de Roubaix.

  • The objective is to increase awareness amongst the participants, to help develop parasport but also to be faithful to rugby values that are solidarity, team-spirit and fighting spirit.

HEIGHTENING AWARENESS

  • To prove that a disability is not barrier, especially in sports, a dedicated zone to parasports will be put in place in the village for the spectators. A dedicated area of 25m2 will be installed at the heart of the entertainment village. In this area opened to all, some presentations will take place to promote parasports.
  • This year the ER7 has organized a Quadrugby demonstration during the HandiDay (November 25th). The public is of course invited to participate in the demonstration and to discover this sport, still too unknown to all. 
  • Nice atmosphere, respect and conviviality were on display during this beautiful day.
