About OnSand
OnSand is a beach volleyball app and an open directory of the German scene. It answers two questions a player actually has: where can I play, and who is playing today.
It is built and operated in Berlin by a small company, not by a federation or a sports association. That matters for reading this site: we describe the scene, we do not govern it.
What OnSand does
A player opens the app to find a free court nearby, join an open game, or see which tournament is coming up in their region. Clubs use it to run their own groups. The public pages on this site are the same data, open to anyone without an account.
Who builds OnSand
Christian Rawe
Founder, developer, player
My name is Christian and I build OnSand on my own. I own evest.io UG, the company that runs the app. There is no team, no investors and no federation money. Everything on these pages is my responsibility.
I play beach volleyball myself, mostly in Berlin. OnSand started with two questions I asked myself every weekend: which court is free, and who is playing today? When something in the app is broken, I usually notice it on the same court you do.
Nobody can buy a better spot here. No club ranks higher because it paid. If you spot a mistake, write to me. The address below comes straight to me.
Where the data comes from
Most of what this site shows is not ours. It is public data, cited back to its origin on the page that uses it.
Tournaments and rankings: DVV and the Landesverbände
Tournaments and rankings come from the DVV and its Landesverbände, through their published SAMS listings. Each tournament links its federation record; each ranking names the federation it belongs to and the date it was last synced.
Games, clubs and profiles: the people using OnSand
Open games, clubs and player profiles are created by the people using the app. We do not invent players, and we do not generate descriptions for places we have never had data about.
