Be Sport - A club near me: innovative platforms for your club

The French National Olympic and Sports Committee is launching the "Be Sport" and "Mon club près de chez moi" (A club near me) platforms. These innovative spaces let you list your organisation to improve its visibility across France and within your discipline. Everything is explained below:

Be sport

This new platform, on which the FFPLUM wishes to be present with an up-to-date directory of the clubs affiliated to the federation, is open to everyone, whether or not they hold a licence. It is also a space where you can promote your activities, your practices and any partners you may have. You can find all the information on the federation, on registered microlight clubs or on any other sport that interests you. This "social network" is made for you!

Mon club près de chez moi

This platform lets your club be listed and found by everyone through geolocation. Being on this site will be a big plus for your club's visibility. Indeed, (future) pilots in your region will find you very easily thanks to this new, dynamic and intuitive tool.

In the example below, I am searching for motorcycle clubs around Lamballe: here is the list. The aim is for as many microlight clubs as possible to be on this platform!

What steps should you take to appear on these platforms?

All the steps to get your club listed on Be Sport and Mon club près de chez moi are taken from your manager area. Under GDPR rules, we need your explicit consent to authorise the federation to supply the information to an external body. The steps to follow:

• Tick yes in the "Listing in an external directory" field, which is set from the manager area (Information tab > Head office contact details).
• Enter your flying location from this manager area

What information appears on these platforms?

The information published on these platforms will be as follows:

• The club's code
• The name
• The logo
• The microlight class(es) flown
• The club's contact details:
  • Head office telephone number
  • Email address
