The cars of two U11 educators from US Colomiers, who live 20 km apart, were burned during the night from Monday to Tuesday. The two arson fires could have had much more serious consequences if a member of the family had not detected the start of the fire in their garage, above which their four children were sleeping. The educators and their families were unhurt.
“An escalation of violence”
“We decided to put ourselves on standby, declared the president of Colomiers, Florian Aït-Ali, to France Bleu Occitanie . To date, an investigation is obviously underway, but the concordance of events suggests that this could be an act born from the frustration of not seeing one's child retained during a match. Parents must understand that it is not possible to react like that. We can clearly see that there is an escalation of violence and that frustrations are becoming insurmountable. To the point that we almost had deaths! This is unacceptable. »

Training and matches are all canceled until November 11, without penalty from the League or the District, which supports US Colomiers.
However, the event is far from isolated. In 2023, for example, the Montrouge club canceled its training for a week, after the attack on an educator by a parent.
