The People Behind
wellplayd

Around 90,000 sports clubs in Germany are responsible for millions
of children, teenagers and adults. We believe Safe Sport should never
fail because of paperwork, uncertainty or a lack of resources.

That's why we're building the software that makes protection
processes achievable for every club.

    Why I advise wellplayd:

    I support wellplayd because the platform offers a unique digital approach to implementing protection processes in sports. For the first time, it enables clubs to map out important processes—such as reporting channels, as well as the review and documentation of extended background checks—easily and securely online. It is precisely these kinds of innovative and modern solutions that help strengthen protection against violence in sports.
