Leadership aims to expand both the tennis and badminton schools while supporting competitive players. Organizers also plan to launch afterwork social events to unite participants from both racquet sports.
Upcoming competition schedules feature a mixed doubles tennis tournament open to all players, alongside an internal club tournament.
Infrastructure Upgrades and Facility Security
Infrastructure improvements form a central priority for the upcoming season. Cercié facilities are slated to receive new lighting systems for both outdoor courts.
At Quincié-en-Beaujolais, the club requested an athletic league audit to determine necessary repairs for outdoor playing surfaces. Officials also scheduled a meeting with the local mayor to address facility security and prevent unauthorized access.
Plans for the tennis hall involve installing a keypad lock connected to the official Ten’Up platform used by French Tennis Federation members. The system will generate single-use entry codes for players.
In Beaujeu, maintenance crews plan a deep cleaning of the badminton hall following concerns over slippery flooring conditions after the local Sarmentelles celebrations.
