Safety

What parents want to know before booking.

Fixed supervision

No more than eight kids per coach. If more sign up, another coach joins – never a bigger group.

Many come back

Once they have been, most want to come again. Most kids return for the next camp – simply because they enjoy it.

Experienced coaches

Years of coaching – including with children. Our coaches know how to lead a group calmly and with fun.

Clear handover

You bring your child to the court, after training we hand them back to you.

Always reachable

You leave an emergency number, and we can be reached by phone and WhatsApp during the camp.

Weatherproof in winter

November and December in the heated winter hall – rain and cold don’t matter.

FAQ

Questions parents ask us

My child has never played volleyball. Is that okay?

Yes. We split the kids up so that everyone has fun – whether it is their first time in the sand or they already have some experience. Nobody is over- or under-challenged.

Who looks after the kids, and how many per coach?

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.

Are the times always the same?

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. Occasionally we swap the court or move the time at short notice – you will then get a message in good time.

Do I have to stay as a parent?

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.

What happens if it rains or gets very hot?

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.

My child is shy and does not know anyone.

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.

How do I book more than one child?

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

Until when can I cancel?

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.

How does the Monday training work?

Four Mondays – 30 Nov, 7 Dec, 14 Dec and 21 Dec – each from 15:30 to 17:30 at the East61 hall (access via Wilhelm-Kabus-Str. 42, Berlin-Schöneberg). The training is led by Mack. Bring your child at 15:20, pick-up is at 17:40. It is booked as a monthly package for 139 €; single sessions are not available.

What if my child misses a Monday session?

Missed sessions unfortunately cannot be made up – the hall is booked and paid for all four Mondays. You can cancel free of charge up to one week before the first session, i.e. until 23 Nov.

Does the Monday training continue after 21 Dec?

Yes, it continues in January. We will add the new dates here on this page.
