SOM Badminton returned to school at the beginning of September with great momentum. The club already has 90 members, including 29 young people, a sign of the enthusiasm for this sport. The badminton school is experiencing growing success, to the point that the club had to refuse registrations from the second Wednesday due to lack of available places.
Slots for adults are maintained throughout the week, with sessions on Monday and Wednesday evenings as well as Saturday mornings at the Sports Hall. Another slot is offered on Thursday evening at Puits-de-Calès. As for the young people, their sessions are supervised by three club volunteers and take place on Wednesdays at the end of the day at the Sports Hall.
First competition at the Monastery
Sunday October 13, the club participated in the resumption of the Departmental Youth Circuit (CDJ), a singles competition organized by the Aveyron Departmental Committee and hosted in turn by the different clubs in the department.
For this first day which took place at the Monastery, eight young players from SOM Badminton participated, accompanied by their volunteer coaches, Leonard Tomans et Fabrice Raynal.
The results were encouraging: Louna Boyer in series 1 and Eliott Bernier in series 6 won their series without conceding a match, while Thomas Antony won second place in series 4 and Aloïs Didelot finished third in series 2. Other young people, like Warranty et Margot Debouté-Liess, Marilou Vincent et Gabin Tornieralso shone with their participation.
The next day of the CDJ will be held in Millau, on Sunday November 10 at the Puits-de-Calès gymnasium. On the adult side, the tournaments resume with, in particular, the Mende tournament on October 26 and 27 and the departmental interclub championship in November.
