Our U18 boys will compete in the men’s National 2 in the upcoming 2025/26 season. To start the pre-season, the team was in Vittel for a training camp from Saturday August 30th until Wednesday September 3rd.
The 14 players selected, accompanied by the coaching staff, underwent an intensive program aimed at regaining rhythm and cohesion, both physically and technically. The training sessions, held twice a day, alternated between individual work on fundamentals and strength training in the morning, followed by group training in the afternoon. This was essential preparation, as the team will begin its National 2 championship on Tuesday, September 16th in Heffingen.
In addition to their daily work, the players had the opportunity to attend a high-level match between SLUC Nancy and JDA Dijon on Monday evening. On Tuesday evening, the team played a friendly match against the local senior team, BC Thermal, winning 95-72. It was a rewarding encounter that allowed the young players to test themselves against an opponent who was not only more experienced, but also physically stronger — a realistic foretaste of the challenges that await them throughout the season.
Before the official resumption, the team will play one last friendly preparation match on Wednesday, September 10th at 19:30 at the INS against the French team from Nilvange.
