Sports Excellence and Education Center

From February 9 to 11, 2026, the CEES brought together 39 student-athletes from across the region at Soualiga College for three mornings dedicated to strengthening the three pillars of the program: academics, sports, and citizenship. Through six themed workshops, this gathering affirmed the CEES's ambition: to structure career paths, support high standards, and make sport a lever for education, commitment, and personal development.

The 2024-2025 season will remain a defining moment for the Center of Excellence and Education through Sport (CEES). Marked by the transition from association status to that of a Public Administrative Institution (EPA), this year consolidated the CEES's work while maintaining a strong dynamic: supporting the youth of Saint-Martin in their sporting, academic, and civic success.

At the heart of a tripartite project, the Territorial Sports Centers offer a structured, demanding, and supportive environment conducive to the harmonious development of each student-athlete's threefold project: athletic, academic, and civic. This week, we focus on the CST Basketball program through several profiles and a conversation with Lionel Dolmazon, Technical Sports Director.

CEES spotlights CST Gymnastique through the stories of committed coach Grace Riom and young student-athlete Na'Omy Lejeune Charbonnier. Their testimonies aptly illustrate the sports and educational support offered at the center, where progress, academic balance and individual fulfillment move forward together, in line with the educational mission of CEES.

The CEES RISING TALENTS ceremony is an event dedicated to highlighting the sporting, academic and civic achievements of student-athletes from Saint-Martin's Centres Sportifs Territoriaux (CST). Its aim is to highlight the efforts, successes and remarkable commitment of our young student-athletes, as well as the importance of the coaches, partners and institutions who support them in their quest for excellence.
