What bvs-bayern does

BVS Bayern (Behinderten- und Rehabilitations-Sportverband Bayern e.V.) is a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein, Vereinsregister VR 5250) headquartered at Georg-Brauchle-Ring 93, Munich, recognized as the largest sports association for people with disabilities in Bavaria and one of the largest inclusion sports associations in Germany. It serves more than 50,000 members across over 500 clubs, organized into four operational divisions: para+ (para sport, including mass sport, talent development, and Paralympics preparation), reha+ (rehabilitation sport), inklusion+ (inclusion sport), and akademie+ (education and training). Its primary customer segments are non-profit sports clubs and associations, rehabilitation sports providers (predominantly physiotherapy practices), people with disabilities seeking sports programs, and Bavarian district administrative authorities (Kreisverwaltungsbehörden).

The association operates a digital platform anchored by the 'mein BVS' member portal, providing self-service member management, access to funding programs, and the Veröffentlichungsservice Sportangebote publication service. Supporting digital products include the external BVS Online-Campus (campus.bvs-bayern.com) for academy courses, a postcode-based Anbietersuche sports provider search attracting approximately 20,000 monthly visitors, a dedicated portal for Kreisverwaltungsbehörden, and integrated billing via myYOLO. The technology stack includes Eye-Able accessibility software (installed locally without external data transfer), Usercentrics consent management for GDPR compliance, and external hosting by net-realizer GmbH & Co. KG and Soon-Systems GmbH. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities are present.

Revenue is generated through annual membership fees (€7.65/year for children/youth in ordinary member clubs; €14.90/year for adults; €1.24/month per participant for extraordinary rehabilitation sports members), academy training fees (e.g., €907 member rate for B-Lizenz courses versus €1,088 for non-members, with a 3% cooperative discount via Herz-LAG Bayern), and administrative fees billed via SEPA direct debit. As the recognized Fachverband for rehabilitation sports in Bavaria and a state-level member of the Deutscher Behindertensportverband (DBS), BVS Bayern interfaces with three Bavarian State Ministries and manages the BLB (Bayerischer Landesbehindertenplan) subsidy program. Premium partners include Lotto Bayern and VdK Bayern; additional strategic, GTM, and technology partners span Aktion Mensch, Herz-LAG Bayern, Mϋnchner Bank, ASS, myYOLO, Usercentrics, Eye-Able, plus Microsoft Teams for internal operations.
