Location
There is not much more to say about this location - it is probably the most exclusive beach volleyball camp environment you can find in Portugal at the Algarve, maybe even in Europe. Directly at the beautiful, typical Portuguese steep coast. The sandy beach is located in a small bay between rocks and palm trees directly on the Atlantic Ocean. Depending on the tide, further small and beautiful beaches can be discovered towards the east. A real dream! A few more infos here.

On Sunday morning we offer a hike to the beautiful bay Praia dos Três Irmãos, which you can book optionally. In the afternoon there will be a "Beat the Coaches Event", so you can play against our coaches before the camp or watch with a cool drink, before it comes to the official welcome and subsequent dinner at about 18:30.

GROUP & SKILLS
Whether you're just starting out with beach volleyball, have an intermediate level of play or are already an advanced player with lots of tournament experience - at our beach volleyball camp in Portugal, you'll get exactly what you need. We have the right coach for every performance level and can take your game to the next level together. Beach volleyball is a team sport and we are one big team on site. #eachoneteachone

You can't estimate your level? Then have a look here.
In Sierksdorf you will be at the camp with up to 22 other participants per week. The group size is deliberately chosen smaller, because we can create a family atmosphere and give all participants the maximum beach volleyball input. This gives all participants and the Beach me team time to get to know each other before and after the training.
~ 46 participants per week

Food
Our hotel prices all include half board - a delicious and rich breakfast buffet and a varied dinner buffet with local and international dishes are therefore included. Each dinner also includes a soft drink, a beer or a glass of wine for you. Lunch, however, is not included in the hotel price. For this we have a cooperation with a restaurant directly on the beach. The lunch offer of Casalinho awaits you with fair prices and a direct view on our beach volleyball courts. Water is available for filling on the beach during the entire camp. To save the environment from plastic waste, please bring your own water bottle to the camp (alternatively you can purchase a water bottle from us).

Events
Not only on but also off the court we have a lot to offer at our beach volleyball camp at Praia da Rocha. Those who have not yet exhausted themselves enough after training in the morning can explore the surroundings of Portimão in the afternoon, for example, with small dream beaches and beautiful small towns with great flair, simply relax on the beach and look forward to relaxing bars and other locations in the evening. So that the special beach me feeling remains after the training, we always try to go to a common location in the evening to get to know each other better and to exchange ideas. The hosts always look forward to the Beach me crew and offer cool drinks in a relaxed atmosphere at fair prices. At the end of each week, we turn the night into day again and really let it rip at the legendary closing party.

Accommodation
The Hotel Jupiter is in no way inferior to the Hotel da Rocha in terms of proximity to the camp. Here, too, you sleep in a 4* hotel a stone's throw away from the great beach and the fields. In addition, you have the possibility to play billiards in the spacious lobby, to use the in-house pool or fitness room or to relax in the modern spa area. You can choose between different room types - single or double, with or without sea view or even family suite - almost everything is possible here. Even if you are traveling alone, you can share a room if necessary. We will then try to book you in a room together with another participant.
If you have any questions, just contact us. You can also find more information about the hotel here:
What you still have to take care of
ARRIVAL
In general, you are responsible for organizing your own arrival and departure. We offer transfer services between Faro airport / Portimão train station and our camp. You will receive all further information in the booking process. We are always happy to help you find suitable flights and/or other transportation options - just send us an email or give us a call. For a quick journey, we generally recommend a flight to Faro or, for those on a budget, Lisbon (good to know: there is a nice and inexpensive train connection from Lisbon to Portimão. So if the flights to Faro are too expensive, you can take a detour via Lisbon and travel to our camp by train).
+++TIPP+++
You can also arrive 1-2 days earlier or depart later and secure your suitable or even the cheapest flight. Besides the cost savings, you also have the advantage that you can use our fields for gambling or explore the surroundings of Praia da Rocha 1-2 days before or after the camp. Transfer service offer from Faro airport and Portimão train station
EQUIPMENT
Apart from your private playing clothes and equipment, we provide everything you need to play beach volleyball. In addition, we will provide you with water for the training to fill yourself. So that you are personally well equipped for the training, we recommend that you pack the following things:
Headgear, Sunglasses & sunscreen, Swim shorts/tanktop or bikini/sports shirt, Towel, water bottle
