Vimoutiers badminton clubat Vimoutiers (Orne)held its general meeting at the Saint-Exupéry room in the presence of a handful of licensees including two of them who did not renew their license were present.
A pivotal year
Aurélien Lefebvre and Solenne Marguerite played in the 1st team which evolved in D3. But now, too fair a workforce also linked to the fact that some players do not have the health pass, got the better of the team’s commitment to the D3 championship.
“We are going to enter one in the D6 or even D5 championship,” indicated Michaël Picault, the president. A level that does not allow Aurélien and Solenne to flourish in this sport which they have been practicing at VBC for 15 and 11 years respectively. Aurélien and Solenne had continued their sporting commitment with the Vimonasterien club, although they have resided for the past few years in Rouen where they work. So they take a break.
Everyone hopes that this new season will go normally because the two previous seasons had to be interrupted prematurely in view of the health crisis linked to covid 19. The members of the office are nevertheless moving forward and registering in project mode.
“This is a pivotal year for the return to a social and sporting life. The government’s Pass-sport brings us new licensees,” says the president. At the start of the recovery, the club has around thirty licensees (46 in 2020, 56 in 2019) including around twenty young people, but notes that “only three of them are over 12 years old” reports Benoit Robin, currently in training to supervise them and animate the training sessions within the badminton school which has one star.
Projects and meetings
The VBC has positioned itself to host a Youth Tournament Sunday, November 21, 2021 as well as a Youth platter on Saturday March 19, 2022.
“We are continuing to train club members with that of two people to ensure the score table. We also plan to train two referees, in order to allow us to be autonomous but also to remedy globally a lack of referees in Orne, where there are only four”.
The VBC will participate in the Telethon Friday, December 3, 2021by offering an evening tournament at the Michel-Pelchat gymnasium.
Composition of the office. President Michaël Picault; vice-president Mickaël Jeannot, secretary Marie Tessier; assistant secretary Benoit Robin; treasurer Chantal Leprince.
