Comité de Basketball de Loire Atlantique

What Comité de Basketball de Loire Atlantique does

The Comité de Basket-Ball de Loire-Atlantique is a departmental sports federation committee founded in 1962 and headquartered in Sainte-Luce-sur-Loire, Pays de la Loire, France. Operating as a non-profit under the Fédération Française de Basketball (FFBB) and the Ligue des Pays de la Loire de Basketball, it serves as the exclusive governing body for basketball within the Loire-Atlantique department (code 44). Its constituents are 50+ affiliated basketball clubs and 28,646 licensed members as of May 2026, spanning clubs, players, referees/officials, coaches/technicians, club directors, volunteers, and youth participants in Mini and Babybasket programs.

The committee's core product is the coordination of departmental basketball activity — competition organization (5x5 and 3x3 formats), official designation of referees, training and certification for coaches, officials, and club leaders, youth development programs (Babybasket, Minibasket Festival, Challenge Benjamins), and administrative support for member clubs. Its technology layer is the Kalisport collaborative management platform, which powers the committee's website, club coordination, and member-facing tools, integrated with the FFBB's national systems (FBI extranet, eFFBB, TeachUP). The committee's event portfolio includes the Open Plus 3x3 tournament series and CSR-focused initiatives such as anti-violence programs with CDOS44.

The committee is funded through a mix of public subsidies (Département Loire-Atlantique), institutional allocations from the FFBB parent federation, two commercial sponsorships (Intersport La Chapelle-sur-Erdre and Crédit Mutuel Nantes), and federation license fees. Pricing for memberships and licenses is administered centrally through the FFBB system and is not publicly disclosed. With only 12 employees, the committee operates a lean administrative model that relies heavily on its network of affiliated clubs and volunteers to deliver training, officiating, and event programming across the department.
