Abstract
Many research and international reports have shown that civic education at the school corresponds to a strong societal need and that citizen knowledge is taken care of by school disciplines. This research aimed to verify the contribution of physical education and sport (PSE) to the citizenship of middle school students. The analyzes include Official Texts (OT) governing PSE and practices of PSE teachers. The results show that PSE is a school discipline that promotes student citizenship in two complementary modes; on the one hand, the use of physical and sports activities (PSA) that implicitly carry civic values; on the other hand, the direct intervention of the teacher who translates his values into action.

And in the end, we looked for adequacy between the contribution to citizenship in the Official Texts governing PSE and the teaching practices in the college?
