The three core values of the FFH
SINGULARITY
It is essential to take into account the particularities of the participant. We welcome athletes into a safe sports environment that is adequately adapted to their capacities. In this, we rely on the principle of compensation of the consequences of the handicap, central pillar of the law called “for the equality of the rights and the chances, the participation and the citizenship of the handicapped persons” of February 11th, 2005.
autonomy
For those with disabilities, sports are a space to develop physical capacities and embolden independence. Our goal is to help participants feel as comfortable and free as possible.
FULFILLMENT
Achievement through sport helps to improve self-esteem and to better understand one’s place in society. We offer to the member, according to their aspirations and preferences, an adapted involvement within a sport of their choice (performance, enjoyment, escape, health, camaraderie, coaching, and refereeing…).
