'''ADEPS''' is an administrative service of the Ministry of the [[French Community of Belgium]] charged with the promotion of sport and physical education amongst the population of the French-speaking community.
Its name is an [[acronym]] for "'''A'''dministration '''d'''e l''''É'''ducation '''p'''hysique, du '''S'''port et de la Vie en Plein Air". Its equivalent in the [[Flemish Community]] is '''[[Bloso]]''' ('''B'''estuur voor de '''L'''ichamelijke '''O'''pvoeding, de '''S'''port en het '''O'''penluchtleven). Created in 1969, these two entities were formerly a single service, INEPS, created in 1956 from the Ministry of National Education and Culture.
ADEPS and BLOSO are charged with all aspects of sport development in their own community, from the training of coaches, growth of sporting clubs, events, and communal sporting functions.
