What stv-fsg.ch does

The Schweizerischer Turnverband (STV) / Fédération suisse de gymnastique (FSG) is the national gymnastics federation of Switzerland, operating as a private, nonprofit association (Verband) headquartered at Bahnhofstrasse 38, Aarau, with UID CHE-107.083.938. It governs 14 sport disciplines (Aerobic, Faustball, Geräteturnen, Gymnastik, Korbball, Kunstturnen, Leichtathletik, Nationalturnen, Parkour, Rhönrad, Rhythmische Gymnastik, Trampolin, Turnen, Volleyball) on behalf of approximately 2,650 member clubs and 375,000 individual members across all Swiss cantons, and is itself a member federation of Swiss Olympic, BASPO, FIG, and European Gymnastics.

Its service architecture is built on a TYPO3-hosted public website (stv-fsg.ch) and a technically separate member platform, mySTV-FSG (my.stv-fsg.ch), which provides a digital membership card with Apple/Google/Stocard Mobile Wallet integration, self-service profile mutation, online payments via Payrexx, and authorized sharing of member data with selected sponsors (opt-out). The member database is maintained on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and connected to mySTV-FSG via an internal API. Supporting modules include the Academy stv-fsg.ch course/certification platform (J+S, esa, 1418 Coach, Club Management), the STV-Admin club administration tool, the STV-Contest event-management tool, the video.stv-fsg.ch media portal, an Issuu-embedded Gymlive magazine, and a Turnverein-Finder club locator. Other third-party integrations include Amazon SES (transactional email), Mailingwork (newsletters), Frontify (digital asset management), jobalino+Langdock (HR/AI applicant processing), Elfsight, Common Ninja, and Google services.

Revenue is generated through a multi-stream nonprofit model: tiered sponsorship (Platinum: Coop, Concordia, Ochsner Sport; Silver: JAKO; Bronze: Alder Eisenhut, Balgrist Universitätsklinik, Twerenbold); VIP/hospitality packages for the Gymotion show and Swiss Cup Zürich (groups of 15+); course and certification fees on academy.stv-fsg.ch; merchandise sales via shop.stv-fsg.ch; membership-related fees; and grants/donations from Club'95, Hans Schachenmann-Stiftung, Loterie Romande, Swisslos, Stiftung Schweizer Sporthilfe, Swiss Olympic, and the independently operated Stiftung Turnen Schweiz (founded end of October 2025). The federation's go-to-market is community-led, anchored by the nationwide club network, with event-driven (Gymotion, Swiss Cup Zürich, Schweizer Meisterschaften) and direct-to-consumer layers (academy, shop, sponsor co-branded programs such as Coop Mixihit, Coop Kituhit, and CONCORDIA Fitiva).

Product overview

The Swiss Gymnastics Federation (Schweizerischer Turnverband / STV-FSG) operates a multi-product digital ecosystem built around a core federation website (stv-fsg.ch) and a separate, technically independent member platform (mySTV-FSG). The main website is the central hub covering 14 sport disciplines, news, results, calendars, training programmes, club finder (Turnverein-Finder), and event information. The mySTV-FSG member platform extends the core offering with account-based services — the digital membership card (with Mobile Wallet integration via Apple/Google/Stocard), self-service personal-data mutations, online payments (via Payrexx), exclusive member offers, and access to the member database through an internal API. Supporting modules include the Academy stv-fsg.ch (training/certification platform for coaches, judges, and officials with the Kursplan and Lehrgang Club Management), the STV-Admin club-administration tool, the STV-Contest organiser tool, the video.stv-fsg.ch media portal, the federation online Shop, the Newsletter & Bulletins service (delivered via Mailingwork), and the Turnverein-Finder club directory. Major content/event products include the Magazin Gymlive, the Gymotion show, the Swiss Cup Zürich competition, and the Swiss Parkour Series. Strategically, the Stiftung Turnen Schweiz foundation (launched October 2025) operates independently of the STV to support long-term federation projects.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG): The global governing body for gymnastics headquartered in Lausanne. STV applies FIG Technical Regulations for athlete selection (e.g., 2026 World Championships tie-break rule), making FIG the apex institutional peer and regulator for STV's elite-athlete pipeline.
• European Gymnastics: The European continental gymnastics federation (one of FIG's continental unions, representing 50 national federations, headquartered in Lausanne). Coordinates European championships in which STV athletes compete; structural peer at the regional level.

Direct peers

• Swiss Athletics: The Swiss national athletics federation — a sibling non-profit federation under Swiss Olympic, sharing the same sponsor ecosystem (BASPO, J+S, Coop, Loterie Romande/Swisslos) and multi-channel digital infrastructure (member platform, academy, club locator). Direct peer in terms of operational model within Switzerland.
• USA Gymnastics: US national gymnastics federation — though at a different scale, it is the comparable benchmark for premium event production, sponsorship packaging, and digital member-platform functionality in a Western gymnastics market.
• British Gymnastics: The UK national governing body for gymnastics, comparable in its mix of grassroots membership, performance-pathway programs, and federation-led coach/judge education. Useful benchmark for membership platform monetization and academy/learning products analogous to STV's academy.stv-fsg.ch.
• Swiss Volley: The Swiss national volleyball federation — another Swiss Olympic member federation covering a discipline also on STV's roster. Comparable in scale, governance, and digital-platform maturity within the same Swiss non-profit federation landscape.
• Fédération Française de Gymnastique (FFGym): The French national gymnastics federation, operating across artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline, aerobic, and teamgym. Highly comparable governance structure, multilingual country context, and discipline portfolio to STV.
• Deutscher Turner-Bund (DTB): The national gymnastics federation of Germany and STV's closest international counterpart in terms of discipline breadth (including Turnen, Gerätturnen, Rhönrad, Trampolin, etc.), governance model, multi-discipline structure, and member-federation status under FIG/European Gymnastics. Directly comparable for benchmarking event scale, sponsorship tiers, and digital member-platform maturity.

Others

• Swiss Olympic: The umbrella organization of which STV is a member federation (one of 86 national federations and 30 partner organizations, 18,440 clubs, 2.5 million participants nationwide). Not a competitor but the governing body through which STV channels federal funding (J+S, BASPO) and FIG/UEG coordination.
• PluSport (Plusport): Swiss umbrella organization for disability sport (~12,000 members, 80 member clubs, 110 sports camps annually). Long-standing strategic partner of STV for inclusive gymnastics; comparable Swiss non-profit sport-federation model and useful benchmark for inclusion programming.
