What is the Pass'Sport?

The Pass’Sport is a financial scheme run by the State, intended to give a major boost over the coming year to sport in clubs and associations for 5,4 million young people. It is a new back-to-sport allowance of €50 per child, intended to pay all or part of their membership of a voluntary sports association for the 2021-2022 school year.

This aid can be combined with all other financial aid already in place.

Who is the Pass'Sport for?

For children from 6 to 18 (17 completed as of 31/06/2021) who meet one of the following three criteria:

Young people aged 6 to 18 receiving the Back-to-School Allowance in 2021,
Young people aged 6 to 18 receiving the Disabled Child Education Allowance (AEEH),
Young people aged 16 to 18 receiving the Disabled Adults Allowance (AAH).
Families with eligible children will receive a letter this summer, via the CAF, from the Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sport informing them of this scheme and their eligibility for it.

How does the Pass'Sport work for the young person?

Young people go to the sports club of their choice between 1^st July and 31 October 2021, with the letter they received. On presentation of this letter, the club gives them a reduction of €50 on the cost of an introductory flight, club membership and/or taking out a licence, except for first-time licence holders (free of charge).

How does the Pass'Sport work for the club?

1. TO BE LISTED

All associations affiliated to an approved sports federation, and therefore all clubs affiliated to the FFPLUM, are automatically partners in the scheme. Clubs do not need to take any particular steps.

2. TO BE REIMBURSED

To submit their reimbursement claim, clubs must have an account on “Le Compte Association” (www. lecompteasso.associations.gouv.fr).

For associations that already have an account, there are no further steps to take
For associations that do not yet have an account, one must be created by following the tutorial “I create my ASSO account”

From September, and preferably as registrations come in, the club can enter on the ASSO account the reimbursement claims for the young people it welcomes with a Pass’Sport, after systematically checking their eligibility through:

The young person producing the Ministry of Sport letter (original)
Verification of the young person's identity.

Normally, no supporting documents need to be submitted, but the association must keep the Ministry letter (original) for each young person welcomed so that checks can be carried out afterwards by the DRAJES. Otherwise, it may be asked to repay the sums paid.

The club will be reimbursed by a Third-Party Payer from September and in several waves, normally by the CDOS of its département or by another dedicated body (CROS or DRAJES).
