AI sports club software for Berlin

PlyrHQ runs the back office for academies, clubs, and federations across Berlin, Germany — payments, attendance, communication and AI insights in one app.

Last updated:

Berlin amateur sport runs through the eingetragener Verein (e.V.). Most large clubs are multi-Abteilung entities filed with the Vereinsregister at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, with elected Vorstand boards and annual Mitgliederversammlungen. PlyrHQ models that structure directly so each Abteilung manages its own teams without losing the Verein-wide member roll the Geschäftsstelle needs for reporting.

Why clubs in Berlin need modern software

Vorstand boards juggle Mitgliederverwaltung, SEPA-Lastschrift Beitragseinzug, Mitgliederversammlung minutes, and the annual Bestandsmeldung to the Landessportbund Berlin. Parental consent under the Jugendschutzgesetz, GDPR Auskunftsrechte, and Vereinsregister updates after each board election stack up alongside training schedules. PlyrHQ collapses member rolls, dues status, consents, and schedules into one workspace per Abteilung so the Geschäftsstelle stops juggling spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads.

Sports culture in Berlin

Football leads through Hertha BSC and 1. FC Union Berlin, with dozens of Bezirksliga clubs across the twelve Bezirke. Handball runs deep via Füchse Berlin and the Berliner Handball-Verband youth pyramid. Alba Berlin anchors basketball in the BBL with a strong school-feeder program; Eisbären Berlin headline ice hockey, while volleyball, athletics, and swimming all sit inside multi-section Vereine rather than standalone academies.

Clubs we serve in Berlin

Three patterns dominate. Multi-section Vereine such as SCC Berlin or Berliner SC run ten or more Abteilungen from one Geschäftsstelle. Single-sport Vereine concentrate on one Spielbetrieb, often football or handball. Bezirk-anchored youth Vereine in Pankow, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Neukölln, and Tempelhof-Schöneberg live around a single Sportplatz or Sporthalle and rely on parent volunteers.

How a Berlin coach runs PlyrHQ

A Bezirksliga handball club with three senior teams and six youth squads runs the season on PlyrHQ. Each Abteilung gets its own workspace; the Verein-wide member roll exports into the Bestandsmeldung file. Mitgliedsbeiträge are tracked monthly against the SEPA bank export, trainers schedule Hallenzeiten and post lineups, parents confirm Jugendmannschaft attendance from the app, and the Vorstand pulls a single report for the Mitgliederversammlung.

Frequently asked questions

Does PlyrHQ fit the German Verein (e.V.) structure?

Yes. A multi-Abteilung Verein is modelled as one organisation with separate sport sections, each with its own teams, trainers, members, and dues, while keeping a Vorstand-level view of the full Verein for Mitgliederversammlung reporting.

How are Mitgliedsbeiträge handled?

PlyrHQ tracks who is due, paid, or overdue per member and per Abteilung. SEPA-Lastschrift collection runs through your existing German payment provider, and PlyrHQ reconciles against the bank export so the Kassenwart sees a single status board.

Is the workspace GDPR-compliant for German youth sport?

Data is stored in the EU, parental consent is captured per Jugendmannschaft member, and Auskunftsrechte exports run from the admin panel. Trainers only see the squads they actually coach.

Can it help with the annual Bestandsmeldung to the Landessportbund Berlin?

The member roll filters by Abteilung, age group, gender, and active status, then exports to CSV. The Geschäftsstelle uses that export as the source-of-truth for the Bestandsmeldung.
