Much to the delight of Christel Lavaud, the club's hyperactive president, who is justifiably proud of her club's achievements.\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\"We've always nurtured the desire to offer high-level training in our Priority Urban District of Celleneuve-Mosson, and we've taken the plunge in the wake of Jolan Florimont, who started with us at the age of six and with whom we've all come to know. The poor fellow paid the price for our amateurism at the start, but I know he's happy today to see how the structure has developed, with now five teachers under the leadership of our technical director Arthur Combeau, all doing a fantastic job.This has enabled us to make our mark with many athletes who have trained with us or in the region. We're not necessarily the strongest, but thanks to our hard work and cohesion, we exist among the best clubs in the country.\"<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17463\" src=\"https:\/\/judoproleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/LOGO_MJO-01-300x169.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/judoproleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/LOGO_MJO-01-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/judoproleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/LOGO_MJO-01-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/judoproleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/LOGO_MJO-01-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/judoproleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/LOGO_MJO-01-18x10.webp 18w, https:\/\/judoproleague.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/LOGO_MJO-01.webp 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Judo Pro League as a booster<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Among the key elements in this irresistible rise to the top, participation from the very first season in this innovative mixed team competition devised by France Judo ranks very highly.\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\"By jumping on the Judo Pro League bandwagon four years ago now, we were able to capitalize on all the efforts made with our athletes, with a dynamic whose importance was quickly understood by the local authorities and our partners, who were quick to play along with us.
