The French team
is participating for the 19th time at the AST tournament which finally won in 2006. This year the French are eager to defend their title. Regularly they mustered up strong teams in Mannheim, but til 2006 it was “only” sufficient for the second place in 1996 and for the third place in 1967 such as in 1989. Almost every time the French had later NBA players in the roster: Jerome Moiso, who played for Boston, Charlotte, New Orleans, Toronto, New Jersey, and Cleveland, whirled beyond the baskets in 1996. In 1998 a very young player named Tony Parker, in the meantime a three time NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs, was leading the French game. At the AST 2000 there were even two players with Boris Diaw (Phoenix Suns) and Ronny Turiaf (Los Angeles Lakers) who once chased after the basket for France and who now earn their money in the American professional league. In 2002 Center Johan Petro participated, who celebrated his NBA debut with the Seatle Supersonics in 2005.

The French always counted to one of the best European team in this age group. The Euorpean Championship title in 2006, 2000 and 1992 as well as the second place at the European Championship in 1996 and in 1964 underline this statement. At the World Championship in 1995 they made the eigth place, at the U10 World Championship 2007 they won the bronze medal.
