Supporting the development of school sports practice

The Occitanie Region supports the development of school sports practice. Sport is a field of human activity that greatly interests citizens and has an enormous capacity to bring them together, addressing everyone regardless of age or social background.

Education through sport begins in the family environment and continues throughout life. The educational system as a whole contributes to the physical development of individuals through the acquisition of the gestures necessary for their evolution and future life.

A factor of personal fulfillment, the interest of sport for young people is essential from an early age. It carries values that are found at all stages of life, particularly through learning rules, the taste for effort, the desire to progress, the pleasure of being together, cooperation, respect for others... First of all, the practice of physical education meets mandatory weekly schedules that fall under the missions of the National Education. Sports policy will address other aspects of practice for high school and university students.
