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.

CEES highlights the Gymnastics CST through the journey of Grace Riom, a dedicated coach, and that of young student-athlete Na'Omy Lejeune Charbonnier. Their testimony clearly illustrates the athletic and educational support provided within the centre, where progression, academic balance and individual fulfilment go hand in hand, in line with the CEES educational mission.

The Centre d'Excellence et d'Éducation par le Sport (CEES) is a Public Administrative Establishment supported by the Collectivity of Saint-Martin. It falls within the strategic framework of the Territorial Sport Development Plan 2018–2028 and aims to make sport a vehicle for equal opportunities, educational success and territorial integration.
