The Badminton Club Montponnais enters the 2026 season with renewed energy under a fresh leadership team, balancing recreational play and competitive ambitions across its roughly one hundred licensed members. Established in 1999 and operating in the Montpon-Ménestérol sector, the family-oriented association has structured a slate of priorities for the new campaign, headlined by the upcoming organization of an official club tournament five years after its last hosted event.
Fresh Leadership Sparks 2026 Campaign for Badminton Club Montponnais
Laurianne Soubiale, communications officer for the club, outlined the association’s goals and daily operations during a recent appearance on Sport en Périgord. According to club leadership, the renewed momentum is designed to expand the club’s local footprint while nurturing both youth development and adult participation.
Dedicated Facilities and Certified Youth Academies
The Badminton Club Montponnais benefits from dedicated local facilities, maintaining a gymnasium designated for year-round training sessions as well as a separate venue secured specifically for hosting tournament play. A core focus for the current leadership group involves bridging the gap between generations within the club, specifically by encouraging greater involvement from adults—frequently parents—alongside the participants in the club’s certified youth training school.
That youth academy functions as a cornerstone for the association, providing structured coaching and skill-building under official federation labels. By drawing parents onto the courts alongside junior players, club organizers aim to cultivate a shared, community-wide engagement with the sport.
Interclub Competition and Regional Promotion Targets
Beyond recreational play, the club maintains an active presence in regional league fixtures. The Badminton Club Montponnais currently enters four distinct teams into interclub competitions across varying divisional levels.
Leadership has set a clear performance milestone for the senior setup, targeting a promotion for the top-tier Departmental 1 (D1) squad. Club organizers hope the team can successfully compete in its division and break through to the regional tier during the current competitive cycle.
New Kits Debut as Registration Opens for Residents
In addition to competitive fixtures, the club recently showcased its new official playing kits, designed specifically for upcoming interclub matches. Residents and prospective players interested in joining either the leisure sessions or competitive squads are encouraged to contact the association directly for registration details.
