Christophe Rouellé, the president of the Saint-Pair tennis club (Manche), is planning a season punctuated by many great events.
What are your numbers since the start of the 2023 school year?
Since the start of the September school year, we have had 320 licensees and we should pass the 350 mark, thus placing our club in the departmental top 10 in number of licensees. Supervised by Olivier Miclot, the tennis school brings together around a hundred young people under the age of 18. At the sporting level, six teams, including one women’s, are entered in the spring championship, with in particular team 1, in the French National 3 championship.

What is the objective for this first in Nationale 3?
This collective composed of Léo Bresson, Bastien Deslandes, Louis Gorréguès, Hugo Huet-Leroy, Cédric Hamon, Clément Fosse and Paul Labarrière, accounts for the majority of players who have participated, for several seasons, in successive climbs. The objective for our club, and our team, the smallest in this championship, will be to remain in Nationale 3.
Last season, in Nationale 4, Saint-Pair was 3e smallest team and we finished best second of the 24 groups of Nationale 4. After the victory this weekend in Lille against OSM-Lommois 5 to 1, during the first day (against a team descending from Nationale 2), We are counting on a large audience, this Sunday, May 5, from 9 a.m., to support our team against the Melun team.
What other meetings are planned?
We are organizing a garage sale on Sunday May 19, Place des Loisirs from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., which will mobilize around fifteen volunteers (reservations for locations at 02 33 50 02 75). In addition, we will celebrate the centenary of the tennis club on Saturday June 22 with entertainment all day long at the club and a dinner at the Michel Fraboulet multipurpose room. This summer our traditional tournaments will take place: youth in mid-July and seniors from Tuesday July 30 to Thursday August 8.
