The ASCE in brief
The Council of Europe Sports Association (ASCE) was set up to encourage Council of Europe staff members to engage in sport, and to enable any members who so wished to represent the Organization in local, regional and national competitions organised by the federations to which the various sections are affiliated. A further aim was to develop external links. The ASCE was officially registered at the Strasbourg Tribunal d’Instance on 3 April 1985, so that it has a French legal status (Loi 1901).
The now 500 members-rich association proposes to all Amicale members a wide range of sports activities: ball sports (Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Golf), racket sports (Tennis, Squash, Table-tennis), combat sports (Judo, Aikido, Boxing, Self-defence), wellbeing (Aerobics, Cardio-fitness, Sophrology, Yoga) and leisure (billiards, Scottish Dancing).
