Sant Nicolau basketball has become a benchmark in Sabadell and the Vallès Occidental region. Currently, the first team competes in the SuperCopa, the highest Catalan category, being the Sabadell club closest to state-level basketball. This success is the result of a long trajectory and the dedication of a key figure in the creation and consolidation of the entity's competitive and formative structure.
In 1973, the school's management decided to promote sports sections as extracurricular activities. At that time, the person in charge already had experience in the world of sports, having been a handball player and also an athlete and coach. He began his work with very basic facilities, which were far from the current ones.
“"When I first entered the patio, I saw five or six pine trees and a 24 by 14 basketball court. It had nothing to do with the current facilities."
The activity grew progressively, with the active collaboration of many parents linked to the world of basketball, who helped consolidate the project. The ease of focusing it on basketball, coupled with the influence of the parents, was decisive. Word of mouth quickly led to a large number of children joining. In 1984, the project was formally constituted as a sports club, a definitive step to ensure the continuity of an initiative started a decade earlier.
One of the great successes of his management was the promotion of the construction of the facilities on Jardí street, where the Màgic Lau pavilion is currently located. His perseverance was key to convincing the board of directors of the need to build a sports pavilion, instead of a multipurpose room, a fact he considered a great achievement for the entity.
“"Having an underground sports pavilion a hundred meters from La Rambla is important. Furthermore, due to space, a futsal court could not be built, and this also favored the consolidation of basketball."
He remained linked to the club as a teacher until 1998 and as a central figure in 'Lau' sports until 2005, after having been part of the school board and presiding over the club in its last stage. After more than thirty years of dedication, he decided to make way for new generations, although he does not rule out frequenting the facilities again when his grandchildren start playing basketball, considering it part of the "cycle of life".
