Software for amateur handball clubs

From the Excel sheet to live 7v7 scoring. Amateur handball, connected.

Paak already handles your members, payments, teams and compliance. For handball, it goes further: live 7v7 scoring, 7m throws, suspensions in minutes (not cards), 6-0 / 5-1 / 3-2-1 defensive formations, federation licence tracking. Complementary to your federation's tools (in France: Gest'Hand, MyCoach by FFHandball, HelloAsso) — not a replacement.

  • Live scoring — field goals, 7m throws, goalkeeper saves, attributed to the player
  • Sanctions tracked — 2-minute exclusion, 3×2min = automatic disqualification, blue card
  • Safeguarding compliance — encadrants tracked, reminders before expiry

Free up to 100 members. No credit card. 30-second setup.

01 · The match log

Goals, 7m, saves — every action to the right player.

Most "multi-sport" platforms model handball as football without goalposts, or basketball without hoops. Wrong. During the match, one tap adds a field goal, records a 7m throw (attempted / scored / saved), or counts a goalkeeper save — attributed to the player, the team score updates on its own.

  • Goal, 7m, goalkeeper save — each action attributed to the player, automatic team total
  • Assists, steals, blocks — in one tap from the phone
  • Auto disqualification at 3×2min — the suspension counter is tracked per player

02 · Player profile & performance

A player profile that adapts to the position.

A centre back isn't judged on the same stats as a goalkeeper. The athlete profile surfaces a centre back's assists, a goalkeeper's saves and 7m saved, a shooter's 7m conversion rate. Every action in a match feeds the profile.

  • Automatic metrics — goals per match, per position, per season
  • 7m conversion rate (shooters), saves and 7m saved (goalkeepers)
  • Preferred position, dominant hand, jersey number (1 to 99) and height
  • Minutes played and minutes excluded — history season by season

7v7 · 2 × 30 min · suspensions in minutes: Paak is configured for the native IHF format, not for another sport's match compressed to fit. The suspension count is tracked per player and per team, and disqualification at 3×2min is triggered automatically. The blue card (written report, since 2016) is tracked separately.
The squad

7 positions, from goalkeeper to pivot.

Each position has its own key metrics, physical profile type and tactical role. A player can register several (versatility is built in). The athlete profile surfaces the right stats by role.

GK Goalkeeper

Saves, 7m saved.

LB Left back

Long-distance shooting, right-arm release.

CB Centre back

Playmaker, assists, court vision.

RB Right back

Long-distance shooting, left-arm release.

LW Left wing

Fast breaks, jump shots.

PIV Pivot

Contact play, close-range goals.

RW Right wing

Fast breaks, jump shots.

Defensive systems

6-0, 5-1, 3-2-1 or the 7-outfield attack — pre-configured.

The defensive choice shapes everything: pressing, block, recovery. Paak encodes the three main systems, plus the 7-outfield attacking variant.

Flat 6-0 defence

6 defenders on the 6-metre line. Closed, pivot-proof defence. Ideal against a wing-heavy opponent.

In Paak: default formation. Defensive stats: % shots stopped at 6m, pivot fouls.

5-1 defence

5 defenders at 6m + 1 advanced at 9m (often on the opposing centre back). Closes long shots, forces inside play.

In Paak: configurable formation. The advanced role is tagged as "9m defender".

3-2-1 defence

3 staggered lines (3 + 2 + 1 advanced). High, aggressive defence — typical of Balkan handball. Recovery-demanding.

In Paak: three lines traced. Key metric: steals.

7-outfield attack

Goalkeeper substituted for a 7th outfield player. Legal offensive overload since 2016. Risk: empty-net goal on turnover.

In Paak: "Attack +1" formation, ready to use.

Federation tools + Paak — complementary, not competing.

Most national handball federations operate their own tools. In France, the FFHandball runs Gest'Hand for licences, league entries and the electronic match sheet, promotes MyCoach by FFHandball — free and official — for day-to-day team work, and bundles HelloAsso inside Gest'Hand for fee-free licence payment. You keep them. Paak does not try to replace them — we cover what those tools don't.

Compliance · Safeguarding & federation licences

Safeguarding checks — tracked for you.

In France, the loi du 8 mars 2024 makes club presidents personally responsible for the safeguarding clearance of every encadrant in regular contact with minors — in handball this covers the head coach, assistants, babyhand / minihand instructors, scoretable officials and referees present at U9 to U19 sessions. Paak tracks each clearance date and is portable to other jurisdictions.

  • Status per encadrant — valid / expiring soon / expired
  • Automatic reminders at 30, 14 and 7 days before expiry
  • CSV export in the ministry SI Honorabilité / FIJAISV format
  • Player licence (number, validity, age category), referee grades (trainee, district, regional, national) and coach certifications (France: CAFS, CAEQ, BPJEPS, DEJEPS) on the same record

Frequently asked questions

Does Paak support the handball 7v7 format and 2 × 30min halves?

Yes. 7 players on court (6 outfield + 1 goalkeeper), 2 halves of 30 minutes for seniors, with shorter durations adapted for U9 through U19 age categories.

Are 2-minute suspensions and the disqualification count tracked?

Yes. Each 2-minute exclusion is timestamped and attributed to the player. The 3 × 2min counter automatically triggers a disqualification alert. The blue card (written report, since 2016) is tracked separately.

Can 7m throws and goalkeeper saves be scored live?

Yes. Each 7m is logged as attempted / scored / saved. Each goalkeeper save is logged and attributed to the player, 7m saves included.

Are federation licences tracked?

Yes. Licence number, expiry date, age category, referee grades (trainee to national) and coach certifications. Automatic alert before expiry.

Does Paak replace Gest'Hand, MyCoach by FFHandball or HelloAsso?

No. Gest'Hand remains the FFHandball's federal tool for licences, league play and the electronic match sheet. MyCoach by FFHandball is the federation's official free digital solution for day-to-day team work (calendars, call-ups, messaging) — you keep it if your club is 100% handball and that scope is enough. HelloAsso, integrated inside Gest'Hand, collects licence payments fee-free. Paak is complementary: multi-sport, safeguarding compliance, Mollie payments for non-licence revenue (tournaments, camps, training programmes), sponsors, in-match tactical scoring, individual performance. Bridge with Gest'Hand: CSV import today; no public FFHandball API as of today.

Are the 6-0, 5-1, and 3-2-1 defensive formations pre-configured?

Yes. All three systems are ready to use, plus the 7-outfield attacking formation.
