CS Maristes, formerly known as Champville Club 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 Mariste Champville ("Champville"), a private Marist Roman Catholic educational institution. After a disagreement with Champville's management in 2022, the club was renamed CS Maristes.

CS 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 SC defeated Anibal Zahle 63–57. As a result, Champville SC 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 Zahle audience was absent from the game in Zahlé, after online appeals were posted on the Lebanese Forces website calling on March 14 alliance supporters to boycott the game and to follow it from the Martyrs Square in Zahlé".

Ahead of the 2022-23 season, the basketball club had a disagreement with the school, leading to its rebranding as CS Maristes. Additionally, they began using the Antoine Choueiri Stadium in Ghazir as their home arena
