With a triple project, academic, socio-educational and sporting, the Center of Excellence and Education through Sport (CEES) offers young athletes from Saint-Martin the opportunity to aim even higher. Inaugurated at the start of the 2024-2025 school year, the Territorial Sports Center (CST) dedicated to sailing welcomes seven student athletes, aged 11 to 17. All are licensed from the Saint-Martin Voile pour Tous (SMVT) club, based in Friar's Bay. The two entities are working fully together for the future of these very promising young people, on their OptiRace, Laser or Formula 18.

The Center for Excellence and Education through Sport (CEES) has officially launched its detection campaign for the 2026-2027 season. This initiative aims to identify young talents and integrate them into its Territorial Sports Centers, real stepping stones towards a structured sports and educational career.

On February 9th, 15 student-athletes from the Centre d'Excellence et d'Éducation par le Sport (CEES) in Saint-Martin had the chance to meet Jacob Brown, a former NFL (National Football League) player turned motivational speaker, who shared with them key tools for personal development to help them thrive in their disciplines.

The 1st edition of the "Women's Day Challenge" on the territory will take place at the Sports Hall. On the programme: women's sport, particularly Futsal, along with a wellness village dedicated to women, in partnership with CEES, CTOS SBSM and the CCISM.

Three students from the Territorial Sports Centre (CST) for sailing in Saint-Martin flew last Thursday to Fort-de-France for the International Nautical Week of Schœlcher in Martinique. This high-level light-sailing competition, bringing together 150 sailors from the Caribbean and Europe, began on Saturday and ends tomorrow, with results announced at 6pm.

From February 9 to 11, the Centre d'Excellence et d'Éducation par le Sport (CEES) organised an unprecedented programme at the Soualiga Middle School, bringing together student-athletes from across the territory. An initiative placing sport at the heart of a structured educational project, with the exceptional participation of Jacob Brown, former NFL athlete turned coach and speaker.

The Centre d'excellence et d'éducation par le sport of Saint-Martin (CEES) welcomed Jacob Brown for two days of exchanges and a conference focused on supporting and promoting the well-being of young student-athletes.

The 2024–2025 season will stand as a milestone for the Centre d'Excellence et d'Éducation par le Sport (CEES). Marked by the transition from an association to a Public Administrative Establishment (EPA), this year consolidated CEES's work while maintaining strong momentum: guiding Saint-Martin's youth toward athletic, academic and civic success.

At the heart of a three-part project, the Territorial Sports Centres provide a structured, demanding and supportive environment, conducive to the harmonious development of each student-athlete's triple project: athletic, academic and civic. This week, the spotlight is on the Basketball CST, through several portraits and a conversation with Lionel Dolmazon, Technical Sports Director.
