Rouanet re-elected as president

The Tarn Tennis committee has closed the book on the 2023/2024 season. And it was a beautiful work. In any case, this is the observation that was made during the general assembly, which was held at the end of October in the premises of the CDOS (departmental Olympic and sports committee), in the presence of Isabelle Espinosa, vice -president of the Tarn departmental council in charge of sports, Jean-Philippe Mialhe, president of the CDOS, and Philippe Bélou, president of the Occitanie Tennis League. The president of the committee Pierre Rouanet, helped by members of the office and professionals, presented the results of the past season.

With a total of 5,989 licensees spread across 48 clubs, Tarn tennis is doing well. We also note the continued progression of padel, which has crossed the 1,000 mark, and the arrival of a new discipline, pickleball, managed by the French Tennis Federation (FFT). Coming from the United States, this practice has already won over several fans, via two clubs in 81 which have had courts since the start of the school year in September: USSP Albi and Cèdres Côté Club in Castres.

Pierre Rouanet reappoints for a new mandate

During this general assembly which was elective for the 2024/2028 Olympiad, Pierre Rouanet was re-elected president and will be accompanied, for the next four years, by a renewed steering committee.

The assembly closed with a presentation of rewards to the clubs, medals to deserving volunteers and an ovation to the Tarn French champion over 45 years old, Caroline Mittag-Rossel, selected for the French team for the championships of team world in its category.

The committee also showed its satisfaction with the Groupe Avenir Départemental (GAD), which brings together, on the committee's grounds in Albi, the best young people from Tarn with specific weekly training (physical and mental preparation) supervised by Arnaud Mariou, advisor. territorial sportsman. This Tarn departmental group represents a strong point for Occitan tennis.
