They played a total of 35 official games last season winning 33 with an average score of 82 points per match while conceding just 57 points.
For the new season just three players have left the club: Katia Forel has ended her career while Vanessa Candelier who played for COB Calais in the LFB has moved to NF2 club St Chamond.
The third player to leave is Manon Cherubini who crossed over the Atlantic to study and play basketball at South Georgia Tech which is a junior college.
The following players are returning: Pulchérie Ayi, Aïda Fall, Madou M'Bengue, Cheryl Malédon, Katarina Simkulakova and Eléna Vishnyakova.
The big signing for the summer is former Indiana University star player Jamie Braun. When her university career ended in 2010 she was not drafted into the WNBA. However she made a brief stop in Iceland for two games during the 2010-2011 season.
Due to the fact that all clubs in LF2 require to have four French players under the age of 23 on the score sheet US Laveyeron have added three French youth players to the roster:
Leslie Fournier turns 21 a few days before the start of the season. She spent five seasons at the youth academy in Montpellier and played some games in the LFB before moving to Rennes last season.
20-year old Jennifer Lafaurie comes from Lyon BF. The point guard played for Lyon at all levels since the age of 13. Caroline Misset who turns 18 before the end of September is the last player to join the club. She spent the last two seasons at Reims BF.
