Badminton Club Courrendlin Kicks Off National League B Season with Ambition
Badminton Club Courrendlin (BCC) begins its National League B campaign this weekend with a bang, eager to maintain its category and even secure a spot in the top-5, as declared by its ambitious captain, Noé Varrin.
Season Preview: Tough Competition Awaits
Teams in the National League B are facing a challenging season ahead, with an additional team upping the ante to nine squads in the mix. Last season’s survival-mode excitement is expected to carry over as every point, match, and set counts. BCC, fresh from its narrow escape in the previous campaign, is aware of the high stakes and ready to face the heat.
A Familiar Face: BCC’s Core Strength
The club’s offseason roster barely budged, keeping its strong regional core intact. The experienced quartet of Marion and Noé Varrin, Eugénie Chapuis, and Gaël Gerber will once again lead the charge. Their LNB baptism last year has left them even hungrier and more resilient, with Noah Varrin noting:
“All our players realized the level of the LNB and got used to it. We need to maintain this level as BCC is a showcase for badminton in our region.”
BCC’s influence on regional badminton isn’t just limited to its team. The club’s presence has sparked a local craze, reflected in its growing registration numbers.
