No. Most kids stand in the sand for the first time, others have played before. We build the training so that every child gets the most out of it – groups are formed by age and ability so nobody is over- or under-challenged.

A maximum of eight kids per coach. The head coach is Mack McKelton, who holds a coaching licence and a teaching degree. For larger groups further coaches join so the rule of eight holds.

Usually it runs from 9:50 to 12:10. Depending on the date, court availability and season it can differ – some camps only start at noon. As soon as your booking is confirmed you receive the exact times by email.

No. You drop your child off at 9:50 and pick them up at 12:10. You are welcome to watch at any time, the venue has a large beach bar. We do need a mobile number for emergencies.

In light rain we keep playing, sand handles that. In a thunderstorm or extreme heat we adjust the times or move the session – you will hear from us in good time. We cannot offer refunds because we pay for the booked courts as well. In practice a cancellation has never happened.

That is the normal case, almost everyone comes alone. We start with getting-to-know games, and in a group of eight you quickly find someone. If your child would rather come with a friend, let us know – then we put them in the same group. And if it helps: stay and watch from the side. That takes the tension off many children.

In the booking step simply increase the number of places. Put the names and ages in the comment field so we can group sensibly.

You can cancel free of charge up to one week before the camp. After that the courts are booked and paid for on our side – we can then only refund if someone from the waiting list takes your place. If your child falls ill at short notice, still get in touch: often there is a place at the next date.
