What creps aquitaine does

CREPS de Bordeaux (Centre de Ressources, d'Expertise et de Performance Sportive de Bordeaux-Aquitaine) is a French public establishment operating since 1945 under the Ministry of Sports. Headquartered on a 15-hectare campus in Talence, Gironde, it supports 453 high-level athletes across 26 training structures (including 3 France Handisport poles) and delivers 85 professional training sessions annually to over 1,085 trainees. Its product portfolio spans three integrated lines: (1) high-performance athlete services including physical preparation, medical/paramedical care, mental preparation, nutrition, and accommodation/catering; (2) professional certification programs (BPJEPS, DEJEPS, DESJEPS) in disciplines such as tennis, judo, swimming, surf, and fitness, plus specialized continuing-education courses; and (3) facility rental, training-camp hosting (135,000 day stays and 44,000 overnight stays in 2024), and the Pack Entreprise corporate team-building offering.

Technology infrastructure includes the Athlete360 digital athlete management system (co-developed with INSEP), which consolidates data on training load, physical condition, psychological state, and competition performance for analysis by two dedicated sports scientists; SportTrooper, a VR stress-simulation tool built with Onepoint; InoPerf real-time video analysis from E-noVon; and specialized rehabilitation hardware (AlterG anti-gravity treadmill, Wide treadmill for para-sport biomechanics). A secondary site, A.C.A.S.A.L. in Soustons (Landes), extends the portfolio into coastal sports and surf-instructor certification.

Revenue is generated from four streams: recurring Ministry of Sports public funding; professional training fees (e.g., BPJEPS at €10/hour); facility rental, accommodation, and catering; and corporate Pack Entreprise services. Distribution is direct and institutionally intermediated through Parcoursup, a dedicated training portal (formation.creps-bordeaux.fr), and contractual partnerships with five French national federations (Handisport, Volleyball, Badminton, Fencing, Judo) plus international delegations. The establishment holds QUALIOPI certification (first public sports establishment to obtain it, October 2020), the GRAND INSEP label (2016), Generation 2024 status (2019), and Paris 2024 Games Preparation Center (CPJ) designation (2024).
