Location
Praia da Rocha in Portugal in the Algarve is one of the largest sports beaches in Europe. The huge sandy beach is located directly on the Atlantic Ocean and in the immediate vicinity of the beautiful, typical rocky coast. Accordingly, beautiful hours can be enjoyed away from the beach volleyball in the great ambience of the cliffs. The beach offers an incredible amount of space for sports activities, so that many surfing providers as well as providers for other water sports can be found here. If not here, where else should we organize one of our beach volleyball camps? On site we have various information about all other sports possibilities and in the evening you can find one or the other bar if you want.
Here you can find more information and impressions about the beach in the Algarve: Praia da Rocha

Various tournaments are held in the afternoons from Monday to Thursday. Friday is reserved entirely for our big final tournament. You can take part in all our tournaments for free - regardless of whether you have a camp pass or training pass - if you register in good time. And who knows, maybe there will be another match between the coaches in the evening after the tournaments, which you can watch with a cool drink in your hand. Of course, there will also be plenty of courts available for free play during the training sessions and tournaments (you will need the camp pass for this).
Add-On: On Monday and Friday we offer special beach volleyball workshops outside of the regular training and tournament times for a fair fee.

Those who have not yet exhausted themselves enough after a long day on the beach can look forward to relaxing bars and other locations in the evenings.

At the end of each week, we turn the night into day again and really let it rip at the legendary closing party.

Climate
The best time to travel along the Algarve is from April to November. In April, it slowly gets warmer, temperatures hover around a pleasant 20°C and there is virtually no rainfall. The sea also heats up slowly and is a refreshing 19°C at this time of year. The best conditions for relaxed beach volleyball training.
In October, the average temperatures at Praia da Rocha are around 20°C . Also the sea is still heated up from the summer and invites, with pleasant 22°C, to cool down after the training. . Since it is no longer oppressively hot, but still very pleasant, so a very good time for an active vacation.
