The atmosphere is super pleasant. If there is still room among the adults, we are full at the youth level (24 players). There is a good dynamic. The level is progressing. We have good participation and results in tournaments. Two teams play interclubs in departmental divisions 1 and 2, with two victories already. We are also very happy with the new gymnasium surface, which is more pleasant for playing.”
