Formations FIPJP
JAKARTA (Indonesia)
In the aftermath of the the World Cup of women's in Pattaya, President Azéma travelled to Jakarta (Indonesia) where he was joined by Victor Nataf, to ensure training respectively of arbitrators and educators at the request of the federation of Indonesia, FOBI: Federation Olahraga Petanque Indonesia
Indeed it has been created in the spring of 2011 to allow the participation of players and Indonesian players equalizations games (the Southeast Asian Games), multi-sport games in which the Petanque occupies a place of choice - 8 to 11 medals! (To compare the two medals of the Mediterranean Games!) -for a decade thanks to the remarkable work done by the Federation of Thailand and the Confederation of Asia.
The President has seen the excellent implementation of this Federation already recognized and assisted by the CONI - national Committee of Indonesian sports – whose members received him upon his arrival, and the fact that it enjoyed the support of sponsors such as the Total Group and the National Institute of welding led by an Indonesian who made his career in France, notably at the French oil Institute. These have also supported fully the displacement of two French executives as well as their living expenses.
After three days of training and exercises on the ground as part of a magnificent sports complex, evaluation tests were performed for 26 educators candidates and 23 candidates referees.
They will be the first frameworks in a country which has nearly 270 million inhabitants on a group of Islands nearly four times the size of the France and where Petanque seems to have a bright future. There will be particular organized Championship of Asia in November.
The President commended the remarkable organization of these courses conducted in English, where trainers have benefited from all materials which they have need, as well as the assistance of three expatriates love of petanque and already hosts of clubs, which have ensured the Indonesian translation needed, even if the vast majority of trainees perfectly understood English including two Filipinos and two Brunei citizens sent by their federations.
Radio France International covered the event and exchanges also took place with local leaders about the structuring of the Federation and the continuation of this cooperation in the years to come. Still an excellent operation for the development of Petanque and the French presence in Asia.
