Two years after its creation, the Football-club of the canton of Salt (FCCS) (Ille-et-Vilaine) continues its development in the territory. After working on the organizational part of the club, in other words, “logistics, equipment, outfits, the development of partnerships, we are now embarking on a new turn, with the development and structuring of the sports part of the club”, communicates Damien Colas, president of the FCCS. Today, the successful football merger of the municipalities of Tresbœuf, le Sel, Lalleu, La Bosse and Saulnières, brings together a total of 250 members, all age categories combined. “It is with pleasure that we welcome Alan Le Denn to ensure the sports coordination of the club, and more particularly that of the youth categories”he points out.

Inculcate a common game idea

Immediately seduced by the sports project, Alan Le Denn, who comes “near Brest”plans to provide all licensees with “a common game idea, in order to develop the young player in the best possible learning environment”. With this recruitment, in addition to relieving the activity of the club’s volunteers, “it is the possibility of maintaining and developing a sporting activity in a territory lacking in federal sports associations”develops the president of the club.

An ambitious rural football club

The FCCS wishes to be able to structure itself like any other football club of the same size. “Even if we are a rural association, we have the right to have the same ambitions as more urban clubs”, says Damien Colas. In addition to the private partnerships essential to the life of the club, contributions and municipal aid support the sports project. “Some municipalities help us by providing facilities, their maintenance and subsidies”he notes. “Others have more difficulty recognizing the interest of our intervention, even if more than 92% of the licensees live in the territory”, he regrets. By way of conclusion, Alan Le Denn, 25, new sports manager and holder of the football instructor certificate, “can’t wait to start this new experience, I trained for it, and for me it is the realization of the last four seasons of training”. New disciplines to keep in shape, such as fit football or football while walking will soon be launched, within this club, which is both family and dynamic.
