Why joining EASE?

Today, employers have their say in the sport and active leisure sector at the European level through EASE and have an important part to play in the building of an effective employer network across the European Union.

You can become a member of EASE, but you can also help us to strengthen the employer site in sports on a European level by working together with EASE. Join the work of EASE.

Who can be a member of EASE?

Preamble: Organisations dealing with sports and active leisure and associated collective or individual activities have decided to participate in the social dialogue as defined by the European Union, under the identity of the European Association of Sport Employers (EASE).
This participation relates to the following 3 main sub-sectors:
- professional sport,
- not-for-profit sport (as opposed to professional),
- active leisure
which are constituted as Permanent Committees within EASE.

There are 3 categories of members as defined in the Article 6 of EASE statutes.

Article 6: MEMBERSHIP

a) Full membership is open to employers' groups and associations which are formally recognised at regional or national level as the representative bodies for employers within sport.

b) Associate membership is open to employers' groups and associations which are in the process of recognition, and European and international groups and associations which are active in sport and do not have the status of employers' representatives.

c) Network membership is open to every organisation which is interested in labour market and labour relations issues in the sport sector, but which does not qualify for full member or associate member.
