Comité Handball 31

What Comité Handball 31 does

Comité Handball 31 (legal name: Comité de Handball de la Haute-Garonne) is a French non-profit sports association (association loi 1901) founded in 1966, headquartered in Balma, Occitanie. It serves as the official departmental handball committee for the Haute-Garonne department (department 31), operating under the governance framework of the Fédération Française de Handball (FFHB) and the Ligue Occitanie de Handball. Its core function is organizing and coordinating departmental-level handball competitions, inter-comité (ICN) qualification tournaments, departmental youth selections (masculine and feminine), and participation in UNSS and UGSEL school sports championships. The committee's stakeholder base consists of approximately 12 member clubs and their licensed players, coaches, and officials across youth, amateur, and elite categories.

The committee's product surface centers on a unified digital platform combining its website (comite-handball31.org) and the Sportsregions mobile application (iOS and Android), which delivers news, competition results, photo albums, team selections, and a centralized document repository of 119 administrative, sports, refereeing, and coaching resources for the 2024-2025 season. Underlying technology is a Sportsregions-hosted content management system; no proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or APIs are disclosed. Strategic partnerships include the FFHB and Ligue Occitanie (governance), Fenix Toulouse Handball and Toulouse Féminin Handball (talent pathway), Conseil Départemental de Haute-Garonne (institutional funding), and a roster of local sponsors (Transdev, Crédit Mutuel Balma, Sérigraphie 31, Box Atlanta, Initiatives.fr) and IT providers (Arcadie Informatique, Ekycom).

The committee operates on a non-commercial revenue model with 5 employees. Funding derives from departmental council grants, club affiliation fees, and local sponsorship arrangements; no public pricing exists for member services. Recent activity in 2025 includes organizing the Finales Occitanie 2025 (13 teams from 12 clubs), qualifying the feminine selection for ICN national finals in Orléans, and coordinating participation in the FFHB 2025-2027 club labeling campaign. Key personnel include Christel Ravassaud (CTF/Conseiller Technique Fédéral) and coaching staff at affiliated school sports sections, notably Frédéric Pérez (retiring July 2025, former Olympic bronze medalist).
