PARTENAIRES "ELITES"

"The Federation is proud to support the creation of this chair dedicated to sport business and leadership. The sports industry, like basketball, is growing in France and the organization of the Olympic Games in Paris is a fantastic accelerator for our sector. In order to take full advantage of this, it is necessary to train future managers and leaders who know and understand the challenges and the significance of sport in our country. It is with this in mind that the FFBB, itself strongly focused on innovation and development, has chosen to support the ESSEC Sports Chair."

PARTENAIRES "AVENIR"

Through its unique, modern infrastructure located within an exceptional 28-hectare campus in the heart of the Bois de Vincennes in Paris, INSEP supports outstanding sporting performance in all its forms for elite athletes competing in all sports. The institute offers innovative support and individually tailored training programmes, medical care, research, psychological support as well as training and professional reorientation. Every day, athletes’ programmes are studied, remodelled and improved through the commitment, motivation and availability of all those working at INSEP. Each year, the institute reiterates its goal of optimising all areas to maximise the achievement of French athletes, enabling them to reach the top of the podium.

To have a strong immediate impact on young people, Sport dans la Ville is reaching out to them by setting up and offering its activities in the heart of their neighborhood.

" Going towards them " is an essential step to create contact and proximity, in order to create a real relationship of trust with each one.

The continuity of action and support over time (from 6 to 25 years) is a determining element of success. Being at the side of young people throughout their life as children and adolescents, and being able to support them in their first choices of young adults constitute a major component of Sport dans la Ville’s curriculum, which has a significant impact on professional integration programs.

The setting up of outings and “discovery” experiences, in order to allow young people to get out of their daily environment, creates leverage to inspire them: the desire to surpass themselves, the desire to believe in their own chances of success, the desire to work.
