Rookie slash

Promoting inclusion through the practice of board and outdoor sports !

At Rookie Slash, we offer young refugees a space to grow, integrate and flourish through sport. Since 2022, our free courses have enabled them to gain confidence, forge bonds and discover new passions within the freestyle community. Through our activities, we encourage personal development and integration, because every activity is an opportunity to surpass oneself and find one's place.

Why outdoor and board sports?

Sliding and outdoor sports are much more than just sport: they are a driving force for social integration and well-being. At Rookie Slash, we use these disciplines to offer young refugees a space where they can excel, learn and integrate.
