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), while your club's own money, from membership fees to camps, is collected online in Paak.
- 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.
Everything a handball club manages, in a single tool.
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. The live match tracker is part of Paak Pro.
- 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
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
Less admin, more handball.
While you are on the bench, the club keeps running: members register online from your club’s public page, pay their fees and sign their waivers, and everything lands in your dashboard, with nothing to re-type.
Included from the free plan: public page and member portal on every tier.
- Online registration from your club’s public page, no more paper forms
- Fees by card or SEPA direct debit, in one or several instalments per your plans
- Waivers and image-rights consent signed online, timestamped
- A member portal with no account, no password: schedule, payments, documents
- Automatic reminders and follow-ups: fees, licences, certificates
- One-tap roll call, attendance tracked session after session
The score, in handball terminology.
No invented stats: exactly the events a handball coach needs to log. Every action recorded with one button feeds the score and the player's profile.
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.
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, and promotes MyCoach by FFHandball for day-to-day team work. You keep them for everything federal. Paak covers what those tools don't: your club's own management and its own revenue.
Gest'Hand · MyCoach
- Licence issuance, team entries in league play
- Electronic match sheet, official rankings, federation declarations
- MyCoach by FFHandball: calendars, call-ups, messaging
What you gain on top
- Multi-sport (a club with handball + basketball + judo + dance sections)
- Your club's own revenue collected online: membership fees (card or SEPA, in instalments), tournaments, camps, equipment, with online registration from your public club page
- Match log: 7v7 scoring, sanctions, stats per player and per position
- Player profile year after year: goals, 7m, saves, honours
- Safeguarding compliance: tracking of encadrant checks
- Parent call-ups with RSVP, equipment, volunteers
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. Paak is complementary on everything those tools don't do: your club's own money (membership fees paid online by card or SEPA, in instalments, plus camps, tournaments and equipment) collected and reconciled in Paak, plus online member registration from your club's public page, multi-sport management, safeguarding compliance, in-match tactical scoring and 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.
Do you offer training resources for coaches?
Two things, and they are distinct. The Handball training knowledge base is freely accessible: age-band priorities, a session builder, drills with progressions, zone defenses explained and sourced guides (IHF/EHF, published research). And inside the app, the session generator builds a minuted outline (warm-up, two main blocks, a game, cool-down) from the age band, duration and theme you pick, right on your team's session. Planning, editing and saving the session is free; printing the session sheet and club-authored drills beyond 5 are available in Paak One.
Your handball club, connected in 30 seconds.
7v7 scoring, sanctions in minutes, positions, defensive formations, federation licences: it's all ready. Free up to 100 members, no credit card.
