In 1900 the club was a founding member of the German Football Association (Deutscher Fussball Bund or German Football Association) at Leipzig, but beyond this never played a prominent role in the sport.

Komet also helped form the VBAV (Verband Berliner Athletik-Vereine or Berlin Federation of Athletic Teams) on 15 November 1904 with club member Otto Gronert serving as first chairperson.

The sport of javelin throwing was introduced to Germany through a 1906 demonstration to the club by then world record holder Swedish athlete Eric Lemming, the developer of the modern technique of the sport.

A number of athletes from the sports club participated in the 1908 Olympic Games held in London, England with runner Arthur Hoffmann coming away with a silver medal as part of Germany's men's medley relay team, the country's best result in athletics at these games.

Komet was one of ten clubs that formed Berlin's first ice hockey league in 1910.
