From the Excel spreadsheet to live 6v6 scoring. Swiss volleyball, connected.
Paak already manages your members, CHF payments (TWINT rolling out), and teams. For Swiss Volley, it goes further: U14 in 4v4 on a badminton court (CH override wired in code), 5 licence types (Nationalliga, Regionalliga, Junior, Mini U13, Kadettenli M16), VolleyManager public API on Apiary. Complementary to VolleyManager and eScoresheet, not competing with them.
- Tactical 6v6 scoring — kills, aces, blocks, digs, rotations, libero tracked in match
- U14 4v4 on a badminton court — 13.4 × 6.1m, net at 2.10m, CH override wired in code
- Sonderprivatauszug tracked — youth protection, nLPD-compatible approach
Swiss pilots open. CHF + TWINT rolling out. nLPD-compatible hosting.
Everything a Swiss Volley club manages, in a single tool.
VolleyManager + Paak — complementary, not competing.
Swiss Volley already runs its own tools: VolleyManager (volleymanager.volleyball.ch) for licence ordering, championship entry and transfers; eScoresheet by Genius Sports for the electronic match sheet in NLA/NLB. You keep both. Paak does not try to replace them — we cover what these tools don't: multi-sport, CHF payments outside the licence (TWINT rolling out), sponsors, tactical live scoring, individual performance, volunteers.
Official Swiss Volley tool
Ordering of Nationalliga-, Regionalliga-, Junior-, Mini U13-, Kadettenli M16-Lizenzen, championship entry (NLA, NLB, 1. Liga, regional leagues across 14 Regionalverbände), transfers, player data. You keep it as is.
Official match sheet
Mandatory electronic match sheet in NLA/NLB by Genius Sports. Paak does not replace it — it consolidates internal club statistics in parallel for individual performance and communication. At regional level, paper match sheets are still used; Paak can serve as digital club support.
Alongside
Multi-sport (a club with volleyball + basketball + judo sections has one platform), Mollie payments in CHF (TWINT rolling out) outside the licence (tournaments, camps, training courses, sponsors), tactical live scoring (rotations, libero, kills/aces/blocks/digs), individual performance, volunteers, training planning.
VolleyManager public API
CSV import today. Swiss Volley publishes a public REST API documented on Apiary (swissvolley.docs.apiary.io) with per-club API key — each Paak club generates its own key via VolleyManager > Administration > Club > Webservice/API. Native connector on the CH-INT-SWISS-VOLLEY roadmap.
FIVB everywhere, but two Swiss specifics.
FIVB/CEV rules apply unchanged — 6v6 in clockwise rotation, sets to 25, libero. But Swiss Volley adds two specifics that most "multi-sport" software ignores.
- U14 in 4v4 on a badminton court — globally unique: 13.4 × 6.1m, net at 2.10m. CH override wired in code (Session 212 Commit 11), not a manual configuration
- U14 → SAR category scale — distinct from France (M13/M15/M17/M20). Paak applies the Swiss scale for CH clubs
- Sets to 25, 2-point margin — best of 5, fifth to 15, no match clock
Kill, ace, block, dig — each action to the right player.
During the match, one click records an action. Paak attaches it to the player, the current rotation, and the set. After the match, every player has their full stat line without re-entering anything. Paak's internal stats live in parallel with eScoresheet (which remains the official record in NLA/NLB).
- Kills, aces, winning blocks, digs, assists, service errors — in one tap
- Tracked by zone as much as by player — attack zone (4, 2, 3, back row), single or double block
- Libero handled as a position apart — enters the back row without breaking the substitution counter

The score, in volleyball's own language.
No invented stats: exactly the events a volleyball coach needs to record. Each action tapped on the tracker feeds the player's profile.
The 7 indoor positions.
Universal FIVB positions, identical at Swiss Volley level. Six players on the court at all times, but seven distinct positions in a roster — the libero shuttles with the back row.
Z4 Outside hitter
Attack & reception. Often the main scorer.
Z3 Middle blocker
Block and quick middle attack. Rotates back — often replaced by libero.
Z2 Opposite
Attacks from zone 2 and back-row zone 1. Usually doesn't receive.
Z6 Setter
Distributes the offence; rarely touches the ball on attack.
Z5 Back left
Reception + left-zone defence. Often an outside hitter on back rotation.
Z1 Back right
Reception + serve. Often the opposite on rotation or the setter.
Z3b Middle 2
Second middle blocker, alternates with the libero depending on rotation.
L Libero
Defensive specialist in a different-coloured kit. Enters the back row without counting toward substitutions. Cannot serve, attack above the net, or be captain. Paak recognises libero as a position in its own right.
The Swiss Volley youth pathway.
Swiss Volley structures youth development in four coherent stages — not a single programme, but a continuous pathway from discovery to national championship.
Kids Volley
Three progressive stages, child-appropriate game forms, emphasis on play and fun. First volleyball introduction for the youngest. Paak tracks group registration and progression.
Smart Competitions
Swiss Olympic initiative. Restructured youth competitions for recreational teams (1-2 trainings/week), optimising the Kids Volley to 6v6/2v2 transition.
Youth Volley Days
Introduced 2024/25 for ambitious youth (3+ trainings/week), results-oriented and age-grouped.
Youth National Championships (NSM)
U14, U16, U18, U20, U23, SAR. U14/SAR decided in a single weekend. U16-U23: 16 teams per gender, top 8 reach the Swiss Volley Final 4.
Swiss Volley licences and qualifications.
- Swiss Volley licences — 5 categories: Nationalliga-Lizenz, Regionalliga-Lizenz, Junior-Lizenz, Mini U13-Lizenz (Kadettenli M13), Kadettenli-Lizenz M16. Number, age category, validity date. Automatic alerts before expiry.
- Junior and Mini U13 auto-upgrade — after 2 uses in a higher league, the licence auto-upgrades on the Swiss Volley side. In Paak today, the operation remains manual: see CH-VOLLEY-AUTO-UPGRADE for upcoming native automation.
- Beach volleyball — same federation, separate licences (Category A / B / juniors), MyBeach portal available from April. Pre-configured mode on the roadmap.
- J+S (Jugend+Sport) qualifications — Swiss federal framework for youth coach training, recognised by the Federal Office of Sport (BASPO). Acquisition date and expiry tracked.
- Swiss Volley refereeing qualifications — eScorers (eLearning training + test match), regional, national referees. Paak tracks recycling dates.
- Dues in CHF — differentiated rates per category, family discounts. Mollie + TWINT rolling out.
What Paak doesn't (yet) do for Swiss Volley
Transparency beats empty promises.
- No native Junior-Lizenz auto-upgrade yet. The shift logic after 2 uses in a higher league exists on the Swiss Volley side but remains manual in Paak today. Ticket CH-VOLLEY-AUTO-UPGRADE.
- No native connector to the Swiss Volley API yet. The public API on Apiary with per-club key is documented; the Paak connector is priority CH-INT-SWISS-VOLLEY after SHV handball. Until then: CSV import from the VolleyManager export.
- Beach volleyball partial. Beach licences and 2v2 sessions work in generic mode today. A pre-configured beach mode (MyBeach calendar, sand-court statistics) follows after the indoor pilot.
- No integrated tournament. For summer tournaments or cups, Paak handles matches individually, not knockout brackets. On the roadmap, not available today.
Sonderprivatauszug for Swiss Volley coaches.
Switzerland has no direct equivalent to the French law of 8 March 2024, but Swiss Olympic recommends the Sonderprivatauszug (special extract from the criminal record) for any coach in regular contact with minors — a recommendation echoed by name by Swiss Volley in its Club-Support hub "No sexual abuse in sport".
- Tracking of each coach's Sonderprivatauszug acquisition date — valid / expiring soon / expired
- Automatic reminders 30 / 14 / 7 days before renewal (default every 5 years, configurable per club)
- One-click CSV export
- nLPD-compatible approach — data in the EU, on the Swiss adequacy list

Frequently asked questions
Is the U14 4v4 format on a badminton court really supported?
Yes, in code (CH override activated in Session 212 Commit 11), not in manual configuration. Paak knows the 13.4 × 6.1m dimension, the net at 2.10m, and the 4v4 format. Other categories U16-SAR work in standard 6v6.
Are the 5 Swiss Volley licence types supported?
Yes. Nationalliga-Lizenz, Regionalliga-Lizenz, Junior-Lizenz, Mini U13-Lizenz (Kadettenli M13), Kadettenli-Lizenz M16 are all available in Paak. Honest note: auto-upgrade after 2 uses in a higher league (Junior and Mini U13) remains manual today — ticket CH-VOLLEY-AUTO-UPGRADE.
Does Paak replace VolleyManager or eScoresheet?
No. VolleyManager remains the Swiss Volley federation tool for licences and championships. eScoresheet remains mandatory in NLA/NLB. Paak is complementary: multi-sport, CHF payments outside the licence (TWINT rolling out), sponsors, tactical club scoring, individual performance. Bridge with VolleyManager: CSV import; native connector on the public API on Apiary is priority CH-INT-SWISS-VOLLEY.
What about Localclubs, Swiss Volley's official partner?
Localclubs has a 25% discount for member clubs (non-exclusive partnership). If your club is volleyball-only and Localclubs works for you, stay. Paak differentiates on multi-sport (volleyball + other section), integrated Mollie payments (TWINT rolling out), nLPD-compatible OVHcloud-Roubaix hosting, and the future bridge on the public API.
Is beach volleyball supported?
Partially. Same federation as indoor but separate regulations (Beachvolleyballreglement). Beach licences (Category A / B / juniors) and 2v2 sessions work in generic mode today. A pre-configured beach mode follows after the indoor pilot.
Is a medical certificate required?
No, not at Swiss Volley federation level. Paak respects this difference: requiresMedicalCert is false for Switzerland. The medical certificate is only mentioned to avoid a withdrawal penalty on beach tournaments — Paak then allows it to be added as a club qualification if needed.
