Balma. At VBQF, womens sport is being built.

The progress of women’s sports is growing. Its visibility is increasing, and so are the discussions. However, without a solid economic model, high-level sports remain fragile.

In Quint-Fonsegrives and Balma, the Volley Balma Quint-Fonsegrives (VBQF) experiences this every week. The club is now among the top 20 women’s teams in France, with a team competing in the Elite Women’s League, the second division nationally, a level still uncommon in the Southwest.

It is a demanding championship where professional and semi-professional structures coexist. Against them, VBQF moves forward with its own means.

Here, the players are not professionals. They work or study while training several times a week. Their commitment is total to maintain a high level of performance.

Behind this team, there is a club. With over 350 members, teams involved up to the National and Regional levels, and a recognized training DNA, VBQF is fully integrated into the local sports scene.

The results of the youth teams, especially in the French Cup, confirm the coherence of the project.

But to take the next step, one essential stage remains: structuring the model financially. This requires appropriate resources, as well as training, reception, and preparation conditions still lagging behind high-level standards.

The club thus carries “Ambition 2030,” with a clear goal: gradually bring its resources closer to its sporting level.

This development also involves an opening towards the local economic fabric. Through the VBQF Business Family, a true business club of VBQF, the club gathers companies around a common project.

The question is simple: do we really want to advance women’s sports, or just talk about it?

At VBQF, the choice is made. The question now is who, in the territory, will decide to be part of it.
