Sport Et Patinage Brest

What Sport Et Patinage Brest does

Sport Et Patinage Brest is a French non-profit sports association (association loi 1901) founded in 1973, operating from the Patinoire Rïnkla in Brest with an administrative address in Landunvez. The organization delivers multi-discipline ice sports training and competition programs across ice dance, synchronized skating, and extreme ice sports (including ice cross, height jumping with trampolines, and barrel jumping). It serves approximately 250 members ranging from children in Baby Skating and Initiation programs to adult competitive athletes, with two nationally competitive synchronized skating teams (Tonnerres in the Adult category and Hermines in Senior N2) and a broader competitive presence in ice dance and extreme sports at the French national level.

The program portfolio is structured across three tiers — initiation, competition, and excellence — and is supported by off-ice disciplines including general physical preparation, off-ice dance training, and mental preparation for athletes 12 and older. Coaching staff includes former elite athletes such as Fabian Bourzat and Catherine Papadakis, who are brought in for the annual Stage d'été (summer camp). The organization also operates active recruitment (a 2025 posting for an ice dance coach) and competes in French and select international events, including the 2026 Ice Crystal Trophy in Gand, Belgium. In 2026 the Hermines team won the French Championship in Senior N2 Synchronized Skating.

The business model is a standard French amateur sports association revenue model: annual membership adhesions collected via the association website, augmented by event fees, summer camp registrations, and minor local sponsorship from a small ecosystem of service providers (photography, drone video, restaurant, bakery, carpentry). The organization uses the Pep's Up SaaS platform for website, member management, and online adhesion processing. No revenue, headcount, or pricing figures are publicly disclosed; the organization is privately operated by a board with Raphaël Cabon as Directeur de publication and Marie-Christine Bot Cabanes as Présidente.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Haydenettes: Renowned Dutch senior synchronized skating program, multi-time ISU medalists. Comparable as an elite synchronized skating program that competes against the level SEP Brest's Hermines aspires to.
• Team Les Suprêmes: A leading synchronized skating team/program from Canada in the same senior competitive tier where SEP Brest's Hermines operates. Useful international benchmark for senior-level performance standards.

Broad incumbents

• Fédération Française des Sports de Glace (FFSG): National governing body sanctioning French ice sports including synchronized skating, ice dance, and extreme disciplines in which SEP Brest competes. Comparable as the regulator/sanctioning authority directly relevant to the club's competition calendar.
• International Skating Union (ISU): Global governing body for figure skating, synchronized skating, and ice dance. Comparable as the international governing tier that sets rules and competitions relevant to clubs like SEP Brest at international events.

Regional players

• Club de Sports de Glace de Lyon (CSGL): French ice skating association offering figure skating, synchronized skating, and ice dance programs with national competitive participation. Directly mirrors Sport Et Patinage's multi-discipline club structure and member-based operating model.
• Grenoble Olympic Patinage (GOP): A long-standing French ice skating club competing nationally in synchronized skating, ice dance, and figure skating. Comparable as a French non-profit club with multiple disciplines and elite competitive ambitions; differs in operating primarily in Grenoble rather than Brest.
• Club de Patinage de Megève (CPM): Haute-Savoie based French ice sports club delivering figure skating and synchronized skating instruction with competition participation. Comparable as a French club offering similar training pipeline, though in an alpine tourism geography.
• Patinage Artistique de Viry-Chatillon (PAV): Paris-region synchronized skating and figure skating club with strong national presence. Comparable in offering synchronized skating teams and competing at championship level; differs in operating in the Île-de-France region.
