Focus on feeding young rugby players

Laurent Buttafoghi, the club's nutritionist, gave an introductory session on feeding young rugby players to the parents of the BDU licensees, U8 and U10.

About 20 parents attended and came to listen to the advice of the nutritionist who works on all the CFG's groups, from baby rugby to professionals.

Educators do not only put on the sports field cap with the children, they almost accompany them on a daily basis, so it is important for them to be able to advise them from an early age on many subjects. Food is a very important point in the life of an athlete, the CTF nutritionist supports educators in this process by developing a balanced and sport-specific food program. By inviting parents to this initiation, Laurent B. wishes to present the club's approach and raise awareness of the importance of a healthy diet adapted to physical activity from an early age.

This initiation ended with a simulation with a snack in which all the U8 and U10 licensees participated.
