We are back from Montpellier !!

Hello to all people who stayed here in Luxembourg in the cold and windy winter weather,

Sunday evening at 18:00, we came back from our Beachvolley Trainingcamp in Montpellier. As last year it was once again a really great experience.

After arriving, we spent nearly two days of relaxed sightseeing (Montpellier, Grau-du-Roi and Aigues-Mortes in the near Camargue).

On Monday the training sessions started. Every morning a session of about 1 hour and a half was planned with Ruben Barrera, the argentinien trainer of the Montpellier Beachvolley Academy. In the afternoons we had a beachcourt at our disposal for a further gameplay session on our own.

Focus was put on individual skills for passing, defending and blocking with the main part of the exercises concentrating on defense with the various possible techniques.

On Saturday, a tournament with some teams from the region of Montpellier was organised and we closed the event with some drinks to celebrate our friendship with the people of Montpellier Beachvolley.

Besides this, we could also get a glimpse of a very professional statistics program, as well as an example of a detailed training plan for a whole season.

A very special thanks to Stéphane Canet, Mathieu Hamel and Ruben Barrera for their help with all our questions about beachvolley, organisation, season planning and nutrition.

Another special thank to Joël for his huge generosity and useful hints.

And last but not least, from my side, a big compliment to Norma, Jeanne, Dani, Frank and Christian for their teamspirit. Without teamspirit, the organisation of such a camp would be very difficult.

And now a very good news for all those who missed this opportunity: a second training camp will be organised the week after Pentecost (approximately from 19th to 24th may)
