COMITE DU MORBIHAN DE BASKET-BALL

What COMITE DU MORBIHAN DE BASKET-BALL does

Comité du Morbihan de Basket-Ball (CD56) is a French non-profit departmental sports association that serves as the official governing body for basketball within the Morbihan department (département 56) of Brittany. Affiliated with the Fédération Française de Basketball (FFBB) and operating under the regional Ligue de Bretagne de Basket-Ball, the committee organizes and oversees all departmental basketball competitions, training programs, and club development initiatives. Its membership base comprises 1,279 currently licensed players (a sharp reduction from the 8,000+ figure cited in January 2023), ranging from U7 mini-basket participants to senior categories, and it coordinates with affiliated clubs across municipalities including Lorient, Vannes, Quimperlé, Grand-Champ, and Noyal-Pontivy.

The committee operates a community-led, event-driven model centered on five core service lines: (1) competition organization across 5x5 (U13 to Seniors, both genders), 3x3 Series, mini-basket, and the Coupe du Morbihan tournament; (2) coach and referee certification via DETB (CS1-CS4) and Brevets Fédéraux delivered in coordination with the IRFBB Bretagne; (3) club development through official labels (École Départementale de Mini-Basket, Label Citoyen FFBB, Label Club Formateur); (4) inclusive and health-oriented programming under the "Vivre Ensemble" banner (Micro Basket, Basket Santé, BaskeTonik, Basket Inclusif, Basket Bien-être, Beach Basket); and (5) shared-staffing infrastructure via the Groupement d'Employeurs C56BB. Its technology backbone is the Kalisport platform, which powers both the public website and the ComKlub56 member portal used for licensing, competition registration, and club administration.

Monetization is consistent with French departmental sports committees: recurring licensing fees routed through FFBB, transaction-based competition and event registration fees, modest commercial sponsorship (e.g., Morbihan Auto, Sport Ouest Equipements), and a small merchandise boutique (training notebooks priced at €8 and €10). The organization is lean — 1-10 paid staff based at 50 rue Louis Braille, Lorient — and is led by an elected Bureau Directeur and Comité Directeur. Governance is reinforced by institutional support from the Conseil Départemental du Morbihan, the Ministère des Sports, and the Agence Nationale du Sport. No external equity ownership, venture funding, or for-profit subsidiary is indicated; the entity is a member-based association rather than an investable vehicle.
