History

The club founded in 1921 in Mézières. In 1958, the club moved to Charleville and after the merger of Charleville Mézières and in 1966, the association became Star of Charleville-Mézières. Ardenne's club disappears from the top French level, then it rises in national 2 (NM2) in 1999, National 1 (NM1) in 2004 and Pro B in 2005 before declining in NM1 after the season 2005- 2006. At the end of the 2007–2008 season, the Charleville Mézières Star back in Pro B being second NM1 and during the 2008–2009 season, the Star surprised everyone by integrating into the play- Pro B offs while back only 1 of the National.

The club plays at the Salle Dubois Crance, but it managed to negotiate in 2011 to play in meeting room Bayard pending availability of common equipment in 2014–2015 (2735 seats) in Hall B of expositions1 center. Ending last Pro B in the 2010–11 season, the team is demoted in NM1 but there remains one season: it is promoted in Pro B at the end of the 2011–12 season NM1 winning the final of the playoffs against Blois. The Star is only one season in Pro B in NM1 and down for the 2013–14 season. But she did not stay long because for the 2014–15 season will be again in Pro B, despite the announcement of his late accession.
