Descriptiontext

The Comité Départemental Handisport des Bouches-du-Rhône (legal name), operating under the trade names Handisport 13 and CDH13, is a French non-profit departmental sports committee affiliated with the Fédération Française Handisport (FFH). Founded as part of the broader Handisport movement (1983), the organization is headquartered at 15 place de la Joliette, 13002 Marseille, and coordinates adapted sports activities across the Bouches-du-Rhône department (department 13) in southern France. Its core technology and offering spans 20+ adapted disciplines — boccia, tennis de table, natation, cécifoot, basket fauteuil, handbike, sarbacane, goalball, athlétisme, joëlette hiking, handinautique, foot sourd, escrime, tir à l'arc, ski, tandem, plongée, voile, karting — supported by specialized adaptive equipment (handisport sports wheelchairs, single-wheel joëlette all-terrain chairs, boccia ramps, handbikes, joystick-controlled adapted sailing dinghies, diving equipment for the visually impaired) and federation-aligned classification standards administered by Brevets d'État-qualified educators. Signature programs include the Handinautique / Sport Handi Nautique dispositif at Base Nautique de Corbière (~1,300 practitioners twice weekly across 8 months), the Handisport Open Marseille international para-athletics meeting at Stade Delort, the Tournoi International de Goalball, the Championnat de France Boccia National Eligible, and the FFH-wide Handisport à la Maison digital Zoom program. Beneficiaries are people with motor, sensory and mental/psychic disabilities across the department.

The organization serves a diverse stakeholder base of individual licensees, 10+ affiliated member clubs (Handisport Marseille, Club Handisport Aixois, Handi Sud Basket, AVI Sourire, Mixivoile, Marseille Tennis Handisport, ASLAA, UNADEV PACA, Robert Grit Karting Handisport, Cat's Sport and Dance, ASDVP, ACSM, Ski Club Marseille Saint Antoine, Moultiplouf, ASCND, Le Grand Bleu, among others), healthcare partners (UGECAM, Almaviva Santé / Clinique Chantecler, Clinique Provence Bourbonne / Ramsay Santé), educational institutions (STAPS Luminy and Aubagne, UNSS 13, USEP 13, Inspection Académique, ESSCA), corporate sponsors (Capgemini Engineering, Edicom, Les Feuillades), and public authorities (Département 13, Ville de Marseille, Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole, ANS, DRAJES PACA, Direction Départementale Cohésion Sociale, Villes de Saint-Martin-de-Crau, Tarascon, Venelles, La Ciotat).

The business model is a non-profit hybrid: public institutional grants and subsidies from departmental, metropolitan, municipal and national bodies; the FFH federal framework (license sales flow through FFH, not the committee); fee-for-service training (Formation Abécédaire at €112 self-funded / €280 employer-funded, 14 hours across 5 modules); ancillary event fees (€10 lunch baskets at training stages); Pass'Sport government aid (€50 deduction for eligible youth 6–30); and donations via HelloAsso. Marketing and outreach are conducted through a static informational website (handisport13.fr), a Facebook page (Handisport13), Flickr photo galleries, YouTube references from partners, email/[email protected], regional press coverage (La Provence, La Marseillaise, Le Dauphiné), and direct field operations through discovery days, training stages, and competitions. Geographic scope is single-country (France), single-department (Bouches-du-Rhône), with no public commercial revenue and no disclosed funding rounds.

Founded as part of the broader Handisport movement (1983), the organization is headquartered at 15 place de la Joliette, 13002 Marseille, and coordinates adapted sports activities across the Bouches-du-Rhône department (department 13) in southern France. Its core technology and offering spans 20+ adapted disciplines — boccia, tennis de table, natation, cécifoot, basket fauteuil, handbike, sarbacane, goalball, athlétisme, joëlette hiking, handinautique, foot sourd, escrime, tir à l'arc, ski, tandem, plongée, voile, karting — supported by specialized adaptive equipment (handisport sports wheelchairs, single-wheel joëlette all-terrain chairs, boccia ramps, handbikes, joystick-controlled adapted sailing dinghies, diving equipment for the visually impaired) and federation-aligned classification standards administered by Brevets d'État-qualified educators. Signature programs include the Handinautique / Sport Handi Nautique dispositif at Base Nautique de Corbière (~1,300 practitioners twice weekly across 8 months), the Handisport Open Marseille international para-athletics meeting at Stade Delort, the Tournoi International de Goalball, the Championnat de France Boccia National Eligible, and the FFH-wide Handisport à la Maison digital Zoom program. Beneficiaries are people with motor, sensory and mental/psychic disabilities across the department.

The organization serves a diverse stakeholder base of individual licensees, 10+ affiliated member clubs (Handisport Marseille, Club Handisport Aixois, Handi Sud Basket, AVI Sourire, Mixivoile, Marseille Tennis Handisport, ASLAA, UNADEV PACA, Robert Grit Karting Handisport, Cat's Sport and Dance, ASDVP, ACSM, Ski Club Marseille Saint Antoine, Moultiplouf, ASCND, Le Grand Bleu, among others), healthcare partners (UGECAM, Almaviva Santé / Clinique Chantecler, Clinique Provence Bourbonne / Ramsay Santé), educational institutions (STAPS Luminy and Aubagne, UNSS 13, USEP 13, Inspection Académique, ESSCA), corporate sponsors (Capgemini Engineering, Edicom, Les Feuillades), and public authorities (Département 13, Ville de Marseille, Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole, ANS, DRAJES PACA, Direction Départementale Cohésion Sociale, Villes de Saint-Martin-de-Crau, Tarascon, Venelles, La Ciotat).

The business model is a non-profit hybrid: public institutional grants and subsidies from departmental, metropolitan, municipal and national bodies; the FFH federal framework (license sales flow through FFH, not the committee); fee-for-service training (Formation Abécédaire at €112 self-funded / €280 employer-funded, 14 hours across 5 modules); ancillary event fees (€10 lunch baskets at training stages); Pass'Sport government aid (€50 deduction for eligible youth 6–30); and donations via HelloAsso. Marketing and outreach are conducted through a static informational website (handisport13.fr), a Facebook page (Handisport13), Flickr photo galleries, YouTube references from partners, email/[email protected], regional press coverage (La Provence, La Marseillaise, Le Dauphiné), and direct field operations through discovery days, training stages, and competitions. Geographic scope is single-country (France), single-department (Bouches-du-Rhône), with no public commercial revenue and no disclosed funding rounds.

Handisport competitors and assessment

Company assessment

Broad incumbents

  • Fédération Française du Sport Adapté (FFSA): National federation for adapted sport for people with mental disabilities and psychics — a peer ecosystem to FFH. The Comité Départemental du Sport Adapté 13 co-organizes events with CDH13 (Handinautique, 'Partage t'es sport', 'Tous Foot Indoor').
  • Comité Paralympique et Sportif Français (CPSF): French Paralympic Committee representing all disability sports federations including FFH and FFSA. Coordinates France's Paralympic delegation and advocacy for disability sport — strategic umbrella comparable to FFH but broader across disabilities.
  • Fédération Française Handisport (FFH): National parent federation that delegates departmental coordination to CDH13. Operates the licensing framework, classification systems, training pathways and digital programs (Handisport à la maison) that CDH13 depends on — making it both a strategic anchor and a constraint.
  • Special Olympics France: National affiliate of Special Olympics International providing year-round sports training and competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Comparable mission of adapted-sport inclusion, training programs, and competition hosting at the national level.

Regional players

  • Activity Alliance: UK national disability sport and physical activity organization (formerly EFDS). Compares to FFH at a national level — supports a network of providers delivering inclusive sport, runs awareness campaigns, and advocates for disabled people in sport.
  • Paralympics Australia: National Paralympic committee in Australia delivering high-performance pathways and grassroots adapted sport. Comparable scope to FFH in France — oversees classification, national team selection, and member federation network.
  • Move United: US national community-based adaptive sports organization (formerly Disabled Sports USA) coordinating a network of community-based chapters delivering adapted sports programming. Comparable mission, community-ecosystem model, and federation-style structure — albeit across the Atlantic.

Direct peers

  • Handisport Hauts-de-Seine (CDH 92): Another departmental handisport committee under FFH, providing adapted sports in Hauts-de-Seine. Closely comparable mission, federation alignment, club network coordination, and competition hosting — differing only by geography.
  • Comité Départemental du Sport Adapté 13: Parallel departmental committee under FFSA, focused on adapted sport for persons with mental or psychic disabilities. Co-organizes joint inclusion days with CDH13, including Handinautique Corbière and 'Partage t'es sport' — the closest functional peer in the same geography.
  • Comité Régional Handisport PACA: Regional parent committee of CDH13 within Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Coordinates regional boccia, goalball, and athletics competitions and represents departmental committees including CDH13 — directly comparable governance and program structure.
