Cerle Sportif Maristes, formerly known as Champville SC (Arabic: نادي الشانفيل الرياضي), is a Lebanese basketball team from Dik El Mehdi, Lebanon. The team competes in the Lebanese Basketball League.[1]

Since its establishment in 1967, the team has been affiliated with the Collège des Frères Maristes Champville, a private Marist e in educational instiution. Following a conflict between the club and the direction of Champville school in 2022, the team was re-named CS Maristes.

Maristes achieved the pinnacle of their success by securing the national championship in 2012. They have also clinched the runner-up position in the league on five occasions. Their trophy cabinet also displays two Lebanese Cups, one Lebanese SuperCup, and the 2006 WABA Super League championship.

History

In game 4 of the 2011–2012 Finals, Champville defeated Anibal Zahle 63–57. As a result, Champville won the series 3–1. The finals did not end without problems though, just like the semi-finals, as “A large part of the Annibal audience was absent from the game in Zahle after online appeals were posted on the Lebanese Forces website calling on March 14 supporters to boycott the game and to follow it from the Martyrs Square in Zahle".

Ahead of the 2022-23 season, the basketball club had a conflict with the school and therefore chose to rebrand as Cerle Sportife Maristes. They also started using the Antoine Choueiri Stadium in Ghazir as home arena.
