ACBB Basket Angers

What ACBB Basket Angers does

ACBB Basket Angers is a non-profit basketball association (loi 1901 d'intérêt général) operating in the Belle-Beille and Lac de Maine neighborhoods of Angers, Pays de la Loire, France. Founded as a section of the ACBB omnisports association in 1958 and affiliated with the French Basketball Federation (FFBB) on October 6, 1958, the club currently serves 263 members aged 3 to 80 across 30 teams, supported by 25 volunteer coaches and more than 80 total volunteers, with only 3 salaried staff plus 2 apprentices and 2 civic-service positions. Its offering spans competitive youth and senior teams (including a senior M1 team that competes in Régionale Masculine 2 and reached the 2025 Coupe des Pays de la Loire final), leisure and Fit Basket programs for adults, summer camps, multisports for children aged 4–10, and inclusive programming including a wheelchair basketball team entering Nationale 3 in 2025–2026 and a Baskin program delivered in partnership with ESCAL.

The club's core technology is the third-party Kalisport platform, which handles member registration, match scheduling, and FFBB license management on the club's website (acbbbasket49.com), with payments processed via Helloasso. Its physical infrastructure centers on Gymnase Jacques Millot (constructed 1966, currently under heating renovation July–September) and Salle Bergson for wheelchair basketball. Socio-sport projects extend the offering into school outreach (Opération Basket Ecole), neighborhood outreach (Hors les Murs), women's participation (B'Elle dans tes baskets), professional reintegration (Rebond professionnel), and educational support (Réussite éducative).

Revenue is generated through annual membership/license fees (with a €15 increase effective July 1, 2025), summer camp registrations, sponsorships from local SMBs and Crédit Agricole through the Club Partenaires network (six annual networking events), tax-deductible donations (66% deductible in France), and small product sales (e.g., apple juice at €2.50/bottle). The club is governed by a volunteer board led by President Pierre LEGEAY (since 2023), with no external investors or parent organization, and is institutionally tied to FFBB, the Ligue des Pays de la Loire, the Comité basket 49, and the Ville d'Angers for facility access.
