🏅 Player Level

This camp is designed for intermediate players.

An intermediate player has control over all basic strokes, both from the back of the court and at the net. Advanced shots such as víbora, x3 or x4 are not considered basic requirements.

Participants should be able to control the ball consistently and demonstrate a solid understanding of the game.

We will ask you to send us a video of you playing a match. A couple of games should be enough. This way we can guarantee the level, which benefits all participants.

💰 Price, Payment & Cancellation

The price for the camp is €595 per person.

After reviewing your playing video, confirmation of enrollment will be provided. Once confirmed, a first payment of 50% of the total amount is required within 48 hours to secure your place. If payment is not received within this timeframe, the spot may be offered to another player.

The remaining 50% must be paid no later than 15 April 2026. If the second payment is not received by this date, the place may be reassigned. If the camp reaches full capacity, a waiting list will be created.

The initial 50% payment is non-refundable.

In the event that the camp is cancelled by the organizers, all payments made will be fully refunded.
