TRAINING
You will be led through a series of training sessions by our top class coaching team with every session having a clear focus. The programme has been created by our head coaches to ensure that you leave Portugal with new techniques and tactics to take away with you.
Our coaches consist of Olympians, World Tour players/coaches and national tour players from all around the globe.
We cater for all levels of player at the Portugal camp and pride ourselves in the fact that sessions will aim to push you to become better players no matter if you're a beginner or elite player.
TOURNAMENTS
Most afternoons we host a variety of different style tournaments. You can play with your regular partner or team up with someone else from the camp in a fun and competitive environment.
We ensure that most tournaments have two divisions to cater for all levels of player. Finals are played on centre court in front of the rest of the camp and winners take home some awesome prizes.
Tournaments we host include: Scramble, Mixed Pairs, ACE and the Rocha Rumble male and female pairs event which is played over two afternoons.

Beach Games- Show that you rule the beach in more than just beach volleyball! Play Cornhole, Spikeball, Crossnet and more!
