What Ligue Régionale Normandie Basketball does

Ligue Régionale Normandie Basketball is a regional non-profit sports federation and the designated governing body for basketball in Normandy, France, operating under the authority of the Fédération Française de Basketball (FFBB). The organization coordinates regional basketball across five departments (Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne, Seine-Maritime), serving over 200 affiliated clubs and a record 29,000+ licensed members. Its core activities include organizing regional senior and youth championships (PNM, PNF, RM2, RM3, U13–U21), 3x3 events (Beach Basket Tour, Open de France, Open 3x3 Rose, Open 3x3 Noël), talent development through its two-antenna Pôle Espoirs program in Caen and Petit-Couronne, and professional training/certification through IRFBB Normandie (BPJEPS Basketball, DETB, OTM).

Revenue derives from club affiliation and licensing fees, modest per-team event fees (€30-40/team), training program tuition, and institutional subsidies from regional and departmental bodies (DRAJES, SDJES, CROS Normandie, CDOS) and the FFBB. Distribution is mediated through five departmental committees (CDs) and the 200+ club network, with competition management handled via the FFBB's national platform and training delivered through the INFBB Teach Up digital learning platform. The league's leadership comprises President Daniel Herbline, Director David Viero, and Secretary General Sylvie Rivière, supported by 12 total staff. The organization also runs civic engagement programs including Service Civique placements, a civic-citizenship training curriculum, and social inclusion initiatives with France Travail and disability employment funds (FIPHFP/Agefiph).
