All it takes is a move, a “motive” person, a little willpower, to continue to move a municipality forward. It’s a bit of an image to remember and what led Le volant cellois to be created. At the initiative of this sporting and fraternal approach, there is Élise Damon, who, if she played badminton in Noirétable, decided, from her new life in Celloise, to set up a club in a local gymnasium which only asked to regain momentum.
Mixed doubles considered
“At first, begins Élise, because it’s complicated to ride, we will only focus on leisure, we will not compete. We will also favor adults, but we will be able to play in a mixed format ”, specifies the president of the club, assisted in the treasury by Claire Deveaux.
“I also think that we can rely on what I experienced at Noirétable, that is to say, play matches between us, or meet certain neighboring clubs, for pure leisure. Already, Élise has had some contact with people who have shown an interest in being able to play badminton in Celles-sur-Durolle.

“It’s hard to know how many we’re going to be. But word of mouth alone, there are already around twenty people “, who will have to be rotated on the four courts soon to be set up within the gymnasium (see box). Of course, novices will be supervised.
“Me, acting as a coach, I will not have this claim, assures Élise, but we generally learn with those who know how to do it. There will be some better than others for sure, but if we don’t try, we will never evolve. »
And the president has even thought of providing a dozen beginners’ snowshoes, so that everyone can try.
Badminton is also a good healthy sport, intended for everyone, which promotes cardio. “And then playing mixed doubles is really nice. It allows to level the opposition a little, and I progressed a lot with better than me. In Noirétable, there are really strong people over 60 years old. »
Holidays or not, it will play
If the dimension of health sport is therefore not to be neglected, the social and dynamism side for the municipality, is not to be forgotten, as Élise Damon wishes to point out. “In Celles, there is dancing, gymnastics, football, tennis in the summer, in small towns, sports are often reduced. »
In addition to having fairly simple rules to understand, badminton has another advantage, that of playing indoors, and therefore warm, in winter. And for Élise, there is no question of sticking to school holidays to play, or stop. “With us, holidays or not, it will be open. We should be several to have the key to come and play. »

It will be Thursday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. “With the possibility of coming only once a week”, specifies Élise Damon, the president. The price of the license has been set at €50. The nets will be provided by the town hall, the mobile posts too. “We are not going to damage the gymnasium by drilling into the ground, so these posts are necessary. » The shuttlecocks will be paid for by dues.
