Training Sessions

Elite

The target group consists of athletes who train at the elite level in beach volleyball. These athletes are considered to have the potential to qualify for the Danish Championship finals and the tour finals. It is therefore expected that the athletes will participate in tournaments on the tour. Athletes are selected based on their current performance level and elite-level conduct. In addition to participating in training sessions, athletes are expected to engage in strength training and participate in other training programs. 

Athletes & Selection

  • You'll need to play on the tour with your regular partner(s)
  • We believe you have a shot at qualifying for the Danish Championships
  • You're responsible for your progress and growth
  • You want to get better and win more
  • You'll follow the elite's fitness plans, talent program, and strategy
  • You'll act in line with the club's values and ELITE-SKUD (which stands for Teamwork, Quality, Development, and Dedication)
  • You are role models for CPH Beach and Danish beach volleyball, and you are actively involved in the club—either as a volunteer and/or a coach.
 
Training Info:

Focus: Building a strong performance foundation with the team as the core (covering mental, physical, technical, and tactical aspects).

Talent

This group is for athletes who are already good at beach volleyball but have even greater potential. We train with the Danish Beach Tour in mind, and we expect athletes to play 6-8 tournaments during the summer. However, there's also a longer-term goal with the training, spanning three years. This means new athletes will focus on summer 2026, while existing athletes will aim for 2025.

Athletes and Selection:

  • Athletes are chosen based on their talent and potential. The reason potential might be valued more than current skill level and results could be that the athletes are new to the sport or still very young.
  • Athletes in their early 20s will have an advantage over older athletes.
  • Athletes in the TALENT group aren't necessarily worse than those in the ELITE group. It's just that we believe their development happens best with a longer-term focus on technical, tactical, mental, and physical training, allowing them to really work through each part.
  • Besides coming to practice, athletes need to do strength training twice a week and follow our other training plans.
  • Athletes are encouraged to find a fixed partner for the summer, but it's not a strict requirement. However, we do train with an even number of players from the start of the calendar year until the end of the season.
