Natixis has been Racing 92's official sponsor since 2007 and has now also decided to provide practical support for amateur rugby clubs across France that have trained young players who went on to play professionally for the team. Natixis will accompany these clubs through the current crisis resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and contribute to funding for coaches' training, equipment and projects for young players in these centers.

This initiative dubbed My first try (Mon premier essai) involves 24 players from the Racing 92 team, who started out playing in 23 amateur clubs across various areas of France. Through this new project, the players pay tribute to their first clubs and coaches and share their earliest rugby memories, the values they developed on the pitch and the close ties they still maintain with their home regions.

You can find the players' testimonials on Natixis' social media channels, notably the two first videos from Henry Chavancy and Teddy Baubigny (in French only).
