The Club in pictures

In 1951, this club was born thanks to a handful of friends. Since our elders turned their dream into reality by building the Jaï Alaï of Biarritz, this club has produced everything: Champions of France, Europe, the World and Professionals.

The B.A.C. has long been an ambassador of pelota around the world. It has been exported to Spain, Italy, Mexico and Florida.

The range offered by the B.A.C. is so varied that it is practically possible to practice a large number of disciplines: cesta punta, chistera, bare hand, xare, pala, paleta, pala corta and on all the different playgrounds.

The B.A.C. also organizes major Cesta Punta competitions:

In July/August the prestigious Golden Glove which brings together the world elite
In September quiniela tournaments
In collaboration with other clubs, the Cesta Punta Pro Tour from September to December.

This is what this building, training and organizing Club represents succinctly.
