Order online: Pro and Elite can now be ordered directly on the website, with a three-week free trial.

Android app: Fussball Performance is now also available on Google Play — in addition to the App Store. Free and included in the team price.

Logging in: Download the app, enter the team code, log in with the same email address and password as in the browser. Instructions for coaches, players and parents.

Data protection and security: We have thoroughly reviewed the platform and strengthened it further in many places. Logging out and changing your password now apply to all devices, and photos are stored without location and camera data.

English: Push notifications and messages arrive in the language set in the app. The app itself gets English with the app update in October 2026.

Chat preview: With the app update you can choose whether the message text appears on the lock screen or just “New message”.

iPhone app: Fussball Performance is now available as its own app on the App Store, free and included in the team price. The Android version will follow shortly on Google Play.

Logging in: Download the app, enter the team code, log in with the same email address and password as in the browser. Instructions for coaches, players and parents.

For coaches: Under Settings → Native app you will find your team code, the QR code for the App Store and a ready-made message for the chat group.

One login per person: If someone already has a login at the club — for example as a coach of another team — they are now recognised when they are newly added as a player or parent, and can be linked to their existing login instead of getting a second one. Applies to web and app, for coaches, parents and players.

Role per team: Which area is shown — coach, player or parent — now depends on the role in the currently active team rather than on a club-wide role. Important for everyone with different roles in different teams.

Pitch and changing-room allocation for league and cup matches (club add-on): The club assigns each home match a pitch and, optionally, a changing room — visible to coaches and players in the match, in the new changing-room schedule and in the app. Details on the club add-on page.

Family view in the calendar: Parents with children in several teams now see a team switcher right in the header as well as a family view that detects fixture clashes between the teams.

Fine date in the team kitty: Fines now get their own incident date instead of only showing the time of booking.

Different monthly fees per player: Fee categories can now be created freely and assigned to individual players — for example a reduced fee for school pupils. Without an assignment, the team's previous standard fee still applies.

Selectable payment interval: In addition to monthly, you can now also set half-yearly or yearly. The periods are displayed grouped accordingly, while storage is still per month — nothing changes in existing data.

Improved: A player's fee category is now reset automatically when they change team or leave, and the parent and player views group the payment periods in the same way as the coach view.

Change roles directly: In “Users & roles” a role can now be changed with a selection field — an assistant coach becomes head coach with one click, without a detour via the app.

Leave a team instead of being deleted: A new button “Remove from team” lets a person leave the team while their account and history are kept. Optionally, a club role can be assigned at the same time (coordinator, groundskeeper, board …) — the login then stays active and the person moves to the club area. People who have left appear in the list with the date and can be re-admitted with one click.

Ratings stay historically correct: Each rating now remembers the coach's role at the time of rating, so that a later promotion or departure does not retroactively shift the player averages of past seasons.

Builds on the archive function from v2.38.0, which remains available if an account is to be shut down completely.

Squad visible only after announcement: Players and parents now consistently see the squad and line-up for a match only after the coach has released them with “Announce squad” — in web and app alike.

Consistent up to 10 minutes before kick-off: Starting eleven and bench only appear shortly before the match begins.

The release cannot be withdrawn; once announced, it stays visible.

One login for two squads: A player can now officially be listed in two teams of the same club, with a single login. Shirt number, position and statistics are kept separately for each team. Not to be confused with dual registration, which still applies to a different club.

Warning about duplicates: When a player is added, the app now checks club-wide whether the name already exists in another team and asks — same person or coincidentally the same name. Applies to web, app and Excel import.

Clean-up function “Check duplicate players”: Finds players who have already been created twice in the club — including older cases — and merges them on request, without losing shirt number, position, attendance records or parent logins.

Players in two teams can switch between them in web and app.

Cancellation reasons are selected instead of typed: When cancelling, there is now a fixed list to choose from (Unavailable, School/work, Family, Holiday, Other) — in web and app, for players, parents and coaches. Free-text fields, in which health information could accidentally end up, have been removed.

New: proof of consent per team. Under Data protection, a new page shows for each team the squad, stored dates of birth and the consent status — just numbers, no names. Coaches also see in the squad which players are still missing a date of birth.

Backup moved: The off-site backup is no longer on a private cloud account but with a provider under a data processing agreement (Cloudflare R2, EU storage region) — still encrypted before upload.

Freely selectable crop: When uploading a player photo, the app suggests a square crop itself, which can be adjusted by moving and zooming — at any time, including afterwards.

Full picture in the profile: In addition to the crop, the complete photo is now visible in the player profile — for coaches, the player themselves and parents in the child view, and from this version also in the native app.

Only accessible to your own team: Player photos are now consistently tied to membership of the respective team, just as the gallery and team photos already were.

New schedule overview: All pitches on a shared timeline, switchable between day, week and month, filterable by pitch and team.

Sub-areas: A pitch can be divided into halves or quarters, with freely chosen names — a booking can cover several adjacent sub-areas together without getting in the way of a booking on the other half.

Freely configurable approval chains: Who has to approve a booking can now be set per pitch and type of booking, instead of being fixed in the program — right down to “approved immediately” without a chain.

Provisional bookings: Entries such as “if pitch conditions are poor” appear hatched in the schedule, but do not occupy anything and trigger no notification until the groundskeeper activates them.

New email provider: Welcome messages, confirmation links and reminders now go through checkdomain GmbH in Lübeck — data centres exclusively in Germany, with a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. Previously, delivery ran through a private Google account, for which such an agreement is not possible at all.

The sender is now [email protected] instead of a private address — also as the reply address and in the legal notice. The domain is secured with SPF, DKIM and DMARC so that nobody can send emails in our name.

No email gets lost silently any more: Every delivery attempt is logged. If a welcome or consent email fails, we see it — previously this was only visible in the server console. The log contains recipient addresses and is therefore deleted automatically after 30 days, or immediately on request.

The platform no longer processes health data. The attendance statuses “Ill” and “Injured” have been merged into a neutral status “Signed off”, and the injury module is now called “Absences” and records only a period — without a reason. Neither the interface nor the database, interfaces or notifications contain any reference to illness or injury any more.

Why: Our external data protection officer rightly pointed out that even the bare statement “injured from–to” without any diagnostic detail is health data under Art. 9 GDPR — it reveals the state of health. Instead of obtaining consent for it, we preferred to make the field completely neutral.

No effect on ratings: “Ill” and “Injured” had the same factor (0.8) in the participation calculation anyway. The merger does not change a single calculated rating — not even retroactively. In the settings there is now one control instead of two: “Factor: Signed off”. If you had set the two differently, the higher value applies from now on.

Deletion now really deletes: Until now, a deletion request replaced the name with initials (“P.M.”) and kept the personal statistics. That was not deletion — initials plus shirt number plus season are easily traced back in a youth team. Now the player profile, including ratings, attendance records and individual statistics, is removed completely. The team and season statistics remain correct: results and total goals belong to the match, not the player.

Attendance list: The abbreviations “K” and “V” become a single abbreviation “M”. Excel files with the old abbreviations can still be imported.

External data protection officer appointed: Volker Kruse of radtkePERSONAL GmbH supports the platform as external data protection officer. Clubs, coaches and parents can contact him directly with data protection questions.

Legal texts externally reviewed: Legal notice, privacy policy, terms and the data processing agreement have been fully reviewed — including an independent second review. We are incorporating the results step by step.

Already implemented: The outdated reference to the EU dispute resolution platform has been removed (it was discontinued in July 2025). The right to object under Art. 21 GDPR now appears in its own, highlighted paragraph. The competent supervisory authority is named. The clause on changes to the terms has been narrowed: anything affecting price or scope of services will in future require your explicit consent.

Correction: On six pages, the legal notice, privacy policy and terms had been embedded as an outdated copy — in some places still showing the version of the terms from May 2026. All pages now show the same current text, and the data processing agreement can be reached everywhere.

New add-on module for clubs: Manage pitches, bookings, fixture changes, friendlies and the cafeteria duty rota centrally — with multi-stage, traceable approval processes instead of Excel and WhatsApp. Details on the club add-on page.

Directly linked to the coach app: When a coach creates a friendly, the approval chain starts automatically with the responsible groundskeeper and coordinator — including an immediate push notification.

Pitch closure with push: Board, coordinators, administrator and now also the groundskeeper can report a pitch closure — all affected teams are informed immediately by push instead of phone chains.

Beta phase: €15 per month per club including VAT, 4 weeks free trial, no automatic online checkout — personal set-up on request via the club add-on page.

Attendance list as a PDF: Coaches and assistant coaches can now generate an attendance list as a PDF that documents who ran a training session and which players attended — handy as proof for the club, e.g. for reconciling with the club members.

Two variants: Directly on the training detail page for a single session, or on the export page as a period report for a month, quarter or year — with a compact overview per session and a summary of how often each player attended.

Privacy-friendly: Deliberately without the DFB player pass number — the name is enough for the club to match records, so no additional sensitive data field is needed.

Delete account & data: A new public page through which you or your child can request the deletion of stored data. Personal data (login, contact, health and device data) is deleted completely; match results (goals, assists, cards) are kept for the team statistics for reasons of fairness, but are anonymised in the process.

Privacy policy updated: A complete, up-to-date list of the service providers used, plus a new section on injury data and deletion.

Injury data simplified: Only the period of an injury is recorded now (comparable to holiday dates) — no type of injury, no body part, no description any more.

Addendum, August 2026: The original addition at this point — that this meant it was no longer health data within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR — was wrong. Even without diagnostic detail, the statement “injured” reveals the state of health. With v2.36.0 we have therefore made the field completely neutral, see above.

Referral programme: Every team receives a unique referral code. Recruit other teams and benefit from permanent discounts: Bronze (25% from 10 teams), Silver (50% from 20 teams), Gold (2 years of ELITE free from 50 teams). Your progress is visible in the dashboard.

Launch offer: The first 100 teams to take out a PRO subscription automatically receive the ELITE package, permanently at the PRO price. On the pricing page you can see live how many places are still available.

Contact form: New optional field for referral codes — simply enter it when you get in touch.

Meeting time: In the settings, the coach determines how many minutes before training or a match the players should be at the venue (default: 15 min. training / 60 min. match). The calculated meeting time is shown automatically on all dashboards (coach, player, parent) and in the calendar — so everyone knows immediately when they need to be there.

Holiday training: Coaches create preparation phases for summer or winter breaks — with tasks by category (endurance, strength, technique …), target value and time window. Tasks can be created for the whole team or individually for single players.

Player interaction: Players tick off their tasks directly in the app and document each session with a mandatory comment (e.g. “32 min, 5 km”). Repeated tasks (e.g. 3× running) are tracked individually and can be undone at any time.

Coach evaluation: Complete overview with completion rate per task (progress bar) and per player (green/yellow/red badge). The detail view shows all comments and completion dates.

Parent view: Parents see their child's training progress in real time — read-only, with progress bars and comments.

Dual registration: A player can now play for two teams at the same time. The coach enters the team code of the second club — the system automatically creates the player at the second club and links the parent accounts. Ratings can be shared with each other via a toggle.

Development timeline: A new tab in the player detail shows the form curve across all seasons — aggregated monthly with average rating, training attendance rate, match appearances and goals per season.

Coach profile picture: Upload your own photo under Settings — it is shown in the header avatar.

Platform statistics: New statistics page for platform operators with live visitor tracking, usage analysis and business KPIs.

Tournament squads: A separate squad can be put together for each tournament and announced to the players by push.

Eligibility rule: Automatic warning when a player has reached the maximum number of competitive matches for a club — particularly relevant with dual registration.

Travel time preview: For away matches, the distance and estimated travel time are shown automatically — so parents and carpools can plan better.

Injury log: Injury history per player with type, body part, expected return and progress.

Holiday period: Players and parents enter holiday periods. During the holiday, the player is automatically excused from all training sessions and matches.

Player transfer: Players can request a transfer to another club using the team code. The coach of the new team confirms the move.

Player comparison: Compare two players side by side — strengths radar, form curve and statistics in an overlay.

Drag-and-drop line-up editor: 7 formations (4-3-3, 4-4-2, 3-5-2 etc.), position players on the 3D football pitch, set the starting eleven and bench, save line-ups as a template.

Automatic publication: The line-up is published automatically to players and parents by push message 10 minutes before kick-off.

Polls & tasks: Coaches can create votes (shirt colour, dates) and assign tasks to players or parents.
