Petanque England Espoirs

The term “Espoir” comes from the French word for “hope” and refers to young pétanque players aged 18 to 23. This category serves as a crucial transition between youth and senior competition, with many of England’s top senior players having honed their skills as Espoirs.

Our England Espoirs Teams compete annually in separate-gender European Championships, organized by the Confédération Européenne de Pétanque (CEP).

To support player development, Petanque England has a dedicated Lead Member for Espoirs, who, alongside experienced coaches, runs training and assessment days. These sessions focus on skill development and team selection for international competitions.

🔹 Are you under 23 and interested in taking your game to the next level?

Our Lead Member for Espoirs would love to hear from you!
