The ESI Vallée de l’Orne opened on Wednesday November 6, 2024, a daycare for the children of its female graduates. “It’s a good initiative. We only had good feedback and I think everyone appreciated it,” smiles Isabelle Gibassier, the team coach.

This was mainly done in clubs larger than ours, but we started from the principle that the small ones had as many rights as the big ones.

Drawings, board games at the clubhouse

Every Wednesday, for two hours (6 p.m.-8 p.m.), it’s Brigitte, the mother of two players on the teamwho volunteers drawings, board games and reading for the players’ children in the club’s clubhouse premises.

In the longer term, we would like to open a study for the children in our school. What we wanted was a starting point. We are moving forward slowly but surely. It’s beneficial for everyone!

“Security that reassures us”

Thanks to this initiative, the players are “more relaxed” and can fully “enjoy their training”.

Knowing that children are warm and sheltered is a security that reassures us. And maybe seeing their moms play will encourage them, too, to take up football.

The ESI Vallée de l’Orne women’s eight-a-side football team was created last year and has been registered in the departmental championship and the Coupe du Calvados since the start of the season. She counts soon twenty-one licensed.

Open Days will be organized on November 22 and 29 (6 p.m.-7 p.m.) for the U17 category at the Roger Brion Stadium in Saint-André-sur-Orne.

The ESIVO daycare is looking for books or board games. For more information, contact Isabelle Gibassier at: 06-22-03-77-30.
