Bridge
The members of one of the Club's more relaxed sections, the Bridge Section, can be found battling it out on the lawns, under the trees, and even occasionally in the bridge room.

Shake up the “grey matter” come back to a game you might well have played in your younger days. Join us and keep the brain active. Just contact any Section member (but after his game is finished!).
The SAC's cricketers have an active fixture list, both home and away throughout the summer, including an annual tour to the UK. Our junior development program accepts youngsters from 8 years of age onwards and is conducted each Saturday morning.
The cricket season starts at the beginning of May and lasts until the end of September, with matches generally starting at 1 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
At the Club, there are Step & Sculpt classes and Pilates classes which take place in the Bridge room.
We'll soon be celebrating 130 years of football at the SAC. British engineers were working on erecting the Eiffel Tower for the great Exhibition in 1889/1890 and after work the young men would unwind with various sporting activities in the Bois de Boulogne, including football. Amongst these young Britons were the men who went on to found the Standard Athletic Club.
The SAC Golf Section has a lively following thanks in large part to the special membership relationship the Section has enjoyed for 40 years with the Villarceaux Golf Club in the heart of the French Vexin, with wonderful scenery and a warm club atmosphere.
The Standard Athletic Club has a small but well equipped work-out room. For safety reasons, children under sixteen are prohibited from using the room.
The SAC has a full-sized table near the bar. Before starting, you must put one euro in the slot machine for half an hour’s light on the table. When that time runs out (light goes out) the next game has priority unless you are playing a tournament.
Children over 12 years old may play snooker but must be under adult supervision at all times.

Squash at the SAC first started in 1962 when a block Membership for 30 SAC Members was negotiated at the Jeu de Paume.
In 1976 the SAC had its own Squash court built. A second court was inaugurated in 1990 in response to persistently strong demand from the membership.
The club has an open-air, heated swimming pool, open from mid-May until the end of September, depending on the weather.
The Club has eight tennis courts:
We are pleased to announce that the Club is switching over to the new FFT TenUp tennis court reservation system, provided by the FFT, and discontinuing the legacy ADSL system.
The Club has coaches who run group lessons for children on Wednesdays (courts 3 and 8) and Saturdays (court 8). Private lessons can be organised during the week or on weekend mornings when clay courts are open. Members should reserve their court for this.
