The football team and its youth side is part of a larger sports association of approximately 1,000 members that has departments for athletics, billiards, boxing, chess, disabled sports, gymnastics, hiking, swimming, table tennis, volleyball, and general recreation.

The team has performed well at this level, consistently earning upper table results including second-place finishes in each of the last two seasons.

This led to Neuruppin's participation in promotion playoffs for the third tier Regionalliga where they were defeated by FC Carl Zeiss Jena by scores of 0:2 and 1:2.

An announcement by management of the association's poor financial state, which would prevent any application for a Regionalliga place, put a damper on the campaign and has contributed to the collapse of the team competitively in the current season following significant personnel changes.

After being relegated from the Oberliga in 2006–07, the club appears to have sat out the following Verbandsliga season, competing in the Landesliga Brandenburg-Nord (VII) in 2008–09.
