The French Tennis Federation has announced the players selected for the European Youth Championships which will take place from October 10 to 15 in Valencia (Spain).

The France Jeunes teams will also have new captains for “Girls” and “Boys”.

The female section

Coached until now by Laurent Imbert and Alexandrine Godard, the young girls of the France team will now be supervised by Christian Collange and Géraldine Sorel, two characters who need no introduction.

The girls will be able to benefit from an experienced pair on and off the slopes with the champion of padel Géraldine and the President of the commission padel for the PACA league, Christian.

The male section

Brice Bernard and Yannick Maurel supervised the boys until now. Yannick Maurel is the only survivor of the 2021 group of captains to continue the adventure in 2022. The Palavas coach can count on his colleague Yann Auradou, who, like Christian Collange, is part of the Mission padel FFT.

Passionate about football, I discovered the padel in 2019. Since then, it's been crazy love with this sport to the point of abandoning my favorite sport.
