The Rue – Le Crotoy tennis club is preparing to welcome two tracks, to the great pleasure of practitioners. This decision, driven by the municipality, had been brewing for several months. “Our desire is to complete our local sports offering and to strengthen the niche of racket games already established in the town and which work very well”, explains Johann Rauch, communications manager, at the microphone of Actu.fr. The price of the project is estimated at 440 euros, part of which will be financed by the FFT. The opening is planned for this summer.
