Eleven young women, champions, some of whom already play professionally, have unpacked their bags among some fifty residents.
Léonide and Brigitte have their little routines at the residence. Seeing this youth arrive upends their daily life, but they love it.
The athletes have only been there for a few weeks, and already the whole residence is starting to stir.
That works out well: it is what the director of the handball club that coaches the athletes had hoped for.
In Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine), a seniors’ residence has been housing a women’s handball team since the start of the school year.
The initiative aims to house high-level female athletes at a time when many young people struggle to find housing.
The young women often ask about the rules at the residence.
