The program expects over 5,600 participants across six departmental sites, offering 25 different activities including BMX, horseback riding, climbing, scuba diving, and archery.

Various locations will host specific disciplines: Marnes-la-Coquette will feature golf and tennis; Issy-les-Moulineaux will host fishing and cycling; Villeneuve-la-Garenne will offer scuba diving; Antony will host BMX; and Saint-Cloud will provide parkour and mountain biking. Additionally, several municipalities are contributing local facilities for activities such as boxing, judo, and urban dance.

In Mantes-la-Jolie, the Académie des Sports is also organizing a sports camp for children aged 6 to 11 during the 2026 autumn holidays. This program includes activities such as cross-training, acrosport, and futsal, aimed at promoting physical activity and accessibility to sports.
