The <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2023/10/condom-badminton-club-new-president-and-ambitious-goals-for-the-future/” title=”Condom Badminton Club: New President and Ambitious Goals for the Future”>Condom badminton club has never started a year with such momentum. Its managers take stock.
The facts are there, the club beats its record number of memberships with an increase compared to previous years of more than 50%.
If the 2024 Olympics focused on badminton, by broadcasting numerous matches and following the obtaining of two French gold medals in the Paralympics, other parameters explain the success of the development of this sport both in Condom and at any other geographical level in France.
In Condom, several bets were launched by the club. First of all, it is about maintaining and maintaining the initial philosophy of the club.
Founded in 2008, the Fous du loup en Armagnac association plays the card of great conviviality that badminton allows as its practice is accessible and fun from the first strokes of the racket. This social vision is concretely reflected in the choice to remain in a “sport-leisure” practice, outside the federation, with the positive consequence of maintaining an annual contribution as low as possible (currently €30 per year).
The leaders also take care to strengthen the link with the municipality and strive to deepen and develop any link with neighboring clubs (Gondrin, Eauze, Vic, etc.) with the aim of helping the most motivated members to become effective competitors. during tournaments in which the club willingly participates and within a new third-party association (Entente du Bad Armagnac) which allows players who wish to do so to access the FFBab license, to participate in the related official competitions and to be bored.
Communication actions also pay off, supplemented this year by the club’s participation in the Gauge Sports Festival.
If all these bets seem won, club officials are keeping a cool head. “We are aware and are doing our best to ensure that such growth does not lead to saturation on the five fields alone and during the time slots that the club currently has at the Cosec venue.
To date, the exceptional atmosphere that reigns within the club is our greatest reward and allows us to best ensure the welcome of new members, whether they are beginners or experienced players,” explains co-president Hervé Berteaux.
