A perfect combination for beach volleyball lovers

For this event, we offer you the opportunity to improve your skills during training sessions with great coaches on January 1st and 2nd, and then compete in the tournament on January 3rd and 4th. The tournament format will be designed so that each team plays many games, regardless of their results.
For this event, you must register as a team of two players for the tournament. It can be two men, two women, or a mixed team.


The Place

COS Spala is a well-equipped training and accommodation center that welcomes both Polish and international national teams across various Olympic disciplines, as well as beach volleyball enthusiasts at every level.
The hall where we will train is the most modern beach volleyball hall in Poland. It accommodates 3 or 4 (depending on the layout) full-size beach volleyball courts. The hall is very high and warm, so there’s no need to wear thermal clothing. The temperature inside typically stays between 23-26℃.
The sports center is surrounded by beautiful forests, creating a perfect setting for relaxation between training sessions. You can take a walk in the woods, visit the swimming pool, enjoy some ice cream in town, or even go mushroom picking in the autumn if that’s your thing!
