🌴 What to expect
Our beachvolleyball sessions will be “original” beachvolleyball – 2 vs 2, just like in the Olympics. (Good news: you don’t need to be an Olympian! 😄)
So if you are used to play 3vs3 or 4vs4 our beachvolleyball events will be a disappointment for you: do not sign up!
In winter, indoor beach courts are quite a bit pricey — so we want to make sure skill levels fit together well. That’s why we ask you to be honest and careful with your level assessment / see table below!
We plan sessions for 8 persons total, playing for 2 hours. With 4 players (2vs2) on the court at any given time, your active playtime is around 50% — perfect for a mix of playing, resting, and cheering for your fellow volleyballfriends. This setup also makes it easy to mix teams, so by the end you’ll have played with and against everyone — true volleyballfriends style. 🤝
💶 Depending on how many join, the session price for you will range between 14,50 € (8 persons) and 29 € (4 persons) per 2-hour session (the court fee stays the same). Experience shows that it is very likely that 8 persons sign up, but be aware that with less persons the price goes up (but also the playing time)!
