Training Basketball Céline Dumerc was founded in 2015 with a clear and unwavering purpose: to promote basketball as a means of personal development, teamwork, and civic education. Located in Jaillans, our association has grown steadily over the years, bringing together young athletes, experienced coaches, and dedicated mentors in a community that values both sporting excellence and character development.
Our association is named in honor of Céline Dumerc, a figure who embodies dedication, discipline, and the spirit of basketball. Her career and achievements inspire our philosophy, teaching not only the technical and physical aspects of basketball but also the values that the sport cultivates. Through our programs, we aim to instill in each participant a love for the game, a commitment to teamwork, and the drive to exceed personal limits.
Our Origins and Growth
When we began in 2015, our goal was simple: to create a structured, supportive environment for basketball enthusiasts in our region. We recognized that young people needed more than just a place to play—they needed guidance, mentorship, and opportunities to learn the principles of effort, respect, and perseverance.
Starting with a small group of local youth, our programs have expanded to include players of all ages and skill levels. Over time, we have built strong relationships with families, schools, and community members who share our vision of using basketball as a tool for growth. Our training sessions, workshops, and events have become a cornerstone of the local sports community, recognized for their quality, consistency, and commitment to holistic development.
Our Philosophy
At Training Basketball Céline Dumerc, basketball is more than a game. It is a school of life where young people learn critical skills that extend far beyond the court. Every training session is designed to challenge participants physically, mentally, and socially. We emphasize:
- Teamwork and Collaboration: Basketball requires players to work together, communicate effectively, and support one another. Our programs focus on building strong interpersonal skills and understanding the value of collective effort.
- Discipline and Commitment: Success in basketball comes from consistent practice, focus, and determination. We encourage our athletes to develop a strong work ethic, resilience, and the ability to overcome challenges.
- Respect and Sportsmanship: Respect for coaches, teammates, opponents, and the rules of the game is central to our approach. We teach that true success involves integrity and fairness both on and off the court.
- Civic Values and Responsibility: Beyond physical training, we integrate lessons on citizenship, responsibility, and community engagement. Participants learn the importance of contributing positively to their surroundings and acting as role models.
Our philosophy guides every aspect of the association, from coaching techniques to program design. We believe that by combining rigorous training with a strong values-based framework, we create not only skilled basketball players but also well-rounded individuals prepared for life beyond sport.
Our Team
The strength of our association lies in our people. Our coaches and mentors bring years of experience in basketball and youth development. Each member of our team is committed to nurturing the potential of every participant, creating an environment where learning and growth are encouraged.
Our coaching staff is carefully selected for their technical knowledge, ability to inspire, and dedication to mentorship. Beyond teaching basketball skills, they serve as role models, guiding young athletes through the challenges of adolescence and helping them develop confidence, resilience, and leadership qualities.
Additionally, our administrative team works behind the scenes to ensure that our programs run smoothly, events are well-organized, and every participant receives the support they need. Together, the coaches, mentors, and staff form a cohesive unit dedicated to realizing the association’s mission.
