History

edit

In 1891 Championnet founded in the parish "St. Genevieve Great Careers." Various activities are pushing to declare in 1907 a multi-sports association affiliated to the Sports Championnet FGSPF. It was not until 1914 to identify the first game of basketball. Then the section is gradually developing into Champion of France in 1945 and provide three players to the team of France in 1948 during the London Olympic Games.

The club then participates in first five France championship seasons of basketball (1950–1954) and descends the 1954–55 season in Division Excellence. It goes back to a season in National Division in 1955–56 and reappears there one last time in 1961–62. The association then refusing to follow the evolution of basketball to the professionalism and the basketball section falls into anonymity. The Championnet Sports Association remains, although they practice other activities in a sporting or recreational purposes, but also for social inclusion.
