Observational cohort study, with a closed, both retrospective and prospective design, aiming to describe the incidence, severity, and burden of injuries among male and female players enrolled in the Rugby Club Toulonnais (RCT) Association program (U14 to U18 categories) over two consecutive seasons (2024-2025 and 2025-2026), based on routinely collected medical data recorded in the Askamon software. Youth male and female players registered with the RCT Association program, starting from the U14 category, and enrolled in partner school structures within the Toulon Metropolitan area. These players benefit from an integrated academic and athletic support program. Inclusion criteria: male or female players licensed with the RCT Association from the U14 category and above; under the medical supervision of the RCT Association; having sustained at least one injury requiring a medical consultation between August 1, 2024, and June 30, 2026; non-opposition from the participant and/or their legal guardians after being informed about the study. Exclusion criteria: opposition from the participant or their parents/legal guardians to the use of personal data for research purposes; players not under the medical responsibility of the RCT Association. Enrollment (estimated): approximately 200 licensed players per season, with an estimated 400 injuries per season, and exhaustive inclusion of all injured players from the active registry over two seasons.
