CREPS CENTRE VAL DE LOIRE

What CREPS CENTRE VAL DE LOIRE does

CREPS Centre-Val de Loire is a French public establishment (établissement public local) operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Sports, headquartered at 48 avenue du Maréchal Juin, 18000 Bourges. Founded in 2004 and employing 31 staff, the establishment functions as a regional sports training and high-performance preparation center serving elite athletes, national teams, sports federations, professional training candidates, and youth/school groups across the Centre-Val de Loire region. It holds the Grand INSEP silver label, a national credential recognizing quality in high-performance sports preparation, and is positioned as a staging site for European and World-level competition preparation.

The organization delivers three integrated service lines: (1) "Haut Niveau" high-performance preparation supporting elite athletes and national collectives within federal performance pathways, supported by the Maison Régionale de la Performance resource center; (2) professional sports training programs leading to BPJEPS and DEJEPS diplomas in disciplines such as aquatics, equestrian, fitness, cycling, and BMX, financed via Ministry of Sports grants, Conseil Régional subsidies, and individual CPF/apprenticeship funding; and (3) facility rental and hospitality services covering a velodrome, athletics track, BMX track, sports halls, gymnasiums, dance studio, boxing room, musculation facilities, balneotherapy, on-site accommodation for approximately 100 athletes, restaurant, and specialized rooms (amphitheater, training rooms, thermoroom). The Qualiopi certification supports access to French professional training funding mechanisms.

Revenue derives from unit-priced facility rentals (e.g., athletics track €50/hour, velodrome €50–110/hour or €620–1,580 per competition package), accommodation (€20–50 per night), restaurant services (€5–50 per meal), training-program tuition, and public subsidies. Distribution occurs through direct booking via the Accueil/Réservation service pole, the official website creps-cvl.fr (which hosts an online reservation system managed via a CMS hosted by CREPS Montpellier), the Parcoursup national admissions platform for higher-education formation, and institutional partnerships with the Conseil Régional Centre-Val de Loire, the Ministry of Sports, DRAJES, and AGEFIPH. The establishment is directed by Marc DUBOIS.
