WINTER 2026-27 – REGISTRATION FOR THE WAITLIST FOR RECREATIONAL TRAINING

Dear members of Copenhagen Beachvolley,  

Here is some information about the winter season, the decision-making process, and what the near future looks like. 

Airdome: 

Currently, we have all the approvals needed to obtain a permit to put the Airdome into use; we’re just waiting for the bureaucracy to catch up. We’re in daily communication with stakeholders. 
Therefore, we are not changing our group assignments but are proceeding with our Airdome plan for the winter.
We are awaiting a decision from the municipality, and Hafnia expects the Airdome to be ready by November 1 at the latest. We share your frustration regarding the uncertainty and disruptions that have arisen from this situation. 

Start of the Winter Season 

The plan for the start of the winter season is October 1 for the elite team and October 12 for the recreational and youth teams, due to ongoing planning with the recreational coaches and the fact that the Airdome permit has not yet been finalized (see above). 
Since we won’t have the Airdome available at the start of the season, we will train according to the following schedule in the weeks leading up to when the Airdome becomes available (see the schedule link at the bottom of the page):  

• There will be recreational training sessions every other week for the Monday/Wednesday groups. Those listed as "Hafnia" groups will meet on even weeks, and those listed as "Airdome" groups will meet on odd weeks. The prices for recreational training packages will be reduced by 50 DKK per session. 

• The Elite team will practice twice a week. 

• Youth practice schedules will not be disrupted and will begin on October 12 (as the new youth coordinator is just getting started in the role). 

• From October 1–11, slots for the Bredde and Youth programs will be available for open booking. 

• A link to the layout diagram for the Airdome, and a view of the Airdome, can be found at the bottom of the page. 

• Friday Beach starts on October 2 at Hafnia Hallen every Friday at 5:00 p.m. 

Broad Winter Plan: 

Here is the plan: 

• The first practices for Men's A-D are on Monday, and the first practices for Women's A-D are on Wednesday, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. 

• Additional practice sessions are offered to those who have expressed interest: Men’s “AB” and “CD” on Wednesdays. Women’s “AB” and “CD” on Mondays. From 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. 

• Two mixed groups, Mix Y and Mix Z, practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. 

• Prices for the winter season: 650 DKK for 1 training session per week, 1,300 DKK for 2 training sessions per week. 

-There will be four men’s and women’s teams meeting between 5:00 PM and 9:30 PM: men’s teams on Mondays and women’s teams on Wednesdays. Sessions for each gender are scheduled on the same day to make it easier to move people up or down in the groups and to fill spots if there are an uneven number of sign-ups. There is also a one-day rest period between the first and second training sessions.
-There haven’t been enough sign-ups for us to fill our 9:30 PM+ training slots with first sessions for everyone. We would have liked to be able to guarantee everyone at least one first session, but unfortunately, we would end up in a situation where we couldn’t fill our court times, and our ability to offer a second session would be significantly compromised due to large differences in skill level among the groups. 
-We have therefore chosen to prioritize offering first and second training sessions to members during 4 of the 9:30 PM+ time slots. We will also create 2 mixed-level teams during the remaining 9:30 PM+ time slots for those who did not secure a spot between 5:00 PM and 9:30 PM; these teams will be filled according to priority guidelines for those who have expressed interest. This ensures the best possible use of our court times, as well as that (almost) everyone who has requested a training time—regardless of the time—is offered a spot on a team at an appropriate skill level. 
-In the event that there are open spots in the 5:00 PM–9:30 PM time slots, those spots will be assigned based on existing priority rankings at the time of registration, regardless of whether players have been assigned a spot on a 9:30 PM+ team or are on the waitlist, so you are not at a disadvantage by accepting the 9:30 p.m. or later training time.
-Morning training from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. will be offered if a coach can be found. 

Work is underway to develop a concept for improved registration, allocation, and transparency going forward.
