Any cricket club based in the regions of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie is welcome to apply to join ACCSO.
However, as a result of decisions taken at ACCSO's AGM of 2 December 2023, the competitions organised by ACCSO are open solely to clubs which have either affiliated to an association sportive omnisports or have taken out with a commercial insurer the insurance cover mandated by the French Code du Sport.
And only players registered with an ACCSO club can play in ACCSO competitions.
In France, sports clubs, like any other benevolent organisation, are expected to set themselves up according to the principles laid down in a celebrated Law dated 1st July 1901.
The French government, together with many outside bodies, offer copious guidance on how to go about all this.
This link is to the Government site; and this one takes you to probably the most widely-used external site.
And if you ever need to check out what French law says (and it's a lot!) about sport, then you need to read the Code du Sport, from here.
Our cricket is generously sponsored by Blevins Franks,
who provide financial services to people moving to - and living in - France.
