Træningsinformation (Sommer 2025)

Dear all,

Please read the information provided in the various sections below very carefully!

ACTION FOR ALL BREDDE PLAYERS: Please check if you have been allocated to a training group and confirm your spot by paying the training package NO LATER THAN Wednesday, the 26th of March kl. 23:59.

Note: In case of late payment, your place will go to a player on the waiting list

The weekly schedule and the bredde training groups are now ready.

In general, SU has been in charge of preparing the bredde training groups. SU, the Elite chef and the Youth Coordinator have prepared the weekly schedule (approved by the Board) and assigned the club´s coaching staff.

Important information for summer 2025:

• When: Start week 18-2025 and end week 37-2025 (included)
• Where: Ryparken and Hafnia Hallen

For summer 2025 the club offers the following options for bredde players:

• One weekly training: Priced at 500 DKK for the entire summer season, with the training session held on weekdays (Monday to Friday) in the afternoon/evening (kl. 17:18:30 or 18:30-20), with coaches assigned. Various training groups reflecting various skill levels from beginner to advance are available.
• Two weekly trainings: Priced at 500 DKK for the entire summer season, with the 2 training sessions held on weekdays (Monday to Friday). The first session runs in the afternoon/evening (kl. 17:18:30 or 18:30-20) with coaches, while the second is a self-trained session in the early afternoon (kl. 15:30-17) solely for players who have expressed interest in the application form. Various training groups reflecting various skill levels from beginner to advance are available.
• Early morning training: Priced at 350 DKK for the entire season, with the training session held on weekdays (Monday to Friday), in the early morning (kl. 6:30-8) with a coach.

If you are allocated to a training group, you have to pay a training package on top of the membership fee*. Prices for the training packages have been set by the Board, according to the club's financial strategy.

*The club´s membership fee needs to be paid by everyone who would like to be a member of the club (from 1-April-2025: 180 kr/month). With it, members have the opportunity to (i) buy training packages (see above), (ii) book courts for free with other members, and (iii) participate in club events (fx. Friday hygge mix, weekly summer tournament, Easter lunch, Christmas party, etc).

The weekly schedule and the afternoon/evening training groups for the summer season 2025 are available here: LINK

Players have been allocated to the various training groups as follows:

• According to the following prioritisation order:
  1. Current members, first-registered first-allocated
  2. Returning members from 2024, first-registered first-allocated
  3.Returning members from before 2024 and new members, first-registered firstallocated
  4.Late applicants waiting list, first-registered first-allocated (independently of being current/returning/new members)
• Based on the evaluation from the coaches, if one has been allocated to a training group during the winter season 2024-25. Players have been evaluated based on ball control and technique, coordination, motivation and attiture, attendance.
• Based on the last evaluation and/or experience with both indoor- and beachvolleyball indicated in the registration, if one is a returning member or a new member of the club

Please note that only a number of players corresponding to maximum 8 players per court will be able to attend each training session (meaning up to 24 players for 3 courts, 16 players for 2 courts). A slightly higher number of players have been allocated to each group, based on historical data on attendance. During the season we will monitor the attendance of all groups and we will take actions and adjust if we see that players are not able to attend many training sessions in a row due to high attendance from the entire group.

Please also note that some names of the training groups are changed compared to this winter season and two consecutive letters still don’t necessarily mean two different levels (fx. A and B). We would like to emphasize that while the letter indicating the group might have changes, the level of the players within each group has mostly remained the same. Rather than focusing solely on the letter associated with your group, we encourage you to pay attention to the players within each group. Thank you.

Please check if you got allocated to a training group. If yes, please read sections #4-6- 7 and 8-Q2, and take actions. If not, please read section #8-Q1.

To accept the training offer for one or two afternoon/evening training sessions, payment for the training package must be made before Wednesday, the 26th of March kl. 23:59.

In case of late payment, you lose your spot in the training group and your place will go to a player on the waiting list.

In order to confirm your spot to one or two trainings per week, please follow these steps:

1. Go to our website and log in with your profile (or create a profile and log in)
2. If you are a returning or a new member: Pay the senior membership fee (monthly club membership fee) first link. If you are a current member, go to step n 3
3. Then pay the training package: link if you have been allocated to one or two trainings per week
4. Check that you have added only 1 item to the shipping cart and the final price, before confirming the payment (‘check out’, and then ‘confirm’)

If you wish to decline the training offer OR if you are not able to participate in training this season for any reason OR if you signed up for 2 trainings per week but are only able to commit to the first training, it is VERY important that you write SU (su@cphbeach.dk) to inform us about it. In this way, we can give a spot to one of the many players on the waiting list.

If you have not been allocated to a training group, no action is needed.

The early morning training day is shown in the schedule in here: LINK

You can join the early morning training only if you are a member (meaning that you pay the membership fee, see above section #2), but independently from joining the afternoon/evening sessions. This means that you can join early morning training on top of the afternoon/evening sessions but also in case you have not been allocated to an afternoon/evening training group.

If you are interested in joining the early morning training, please follow these steps:

1. Go to our website and log in with your profile (or create a profile and log in)

2. If you are a returning or a new member: Pay the senior membership fee (monthly club membership fee) first link If you are a current member, go to step n 3

3. Then pay the training package: link

4. Check that you have added only 1 item to the shipping cart and the final price, before confirming the payment (‘check out’, and then ‘confirm’)

If you have been allocated to an afternoon/evening training group and/or if you are joining the early morning trainings, once you have confirmed your spot (see section #4 and #5), join the Facebook group of your training group(s) to stay informed and connect with your teammates and coaches.

The links to the Facebook groups are shown in the overview of the training groups here: LINK

If you have not been allocated to a training group or if you did not confirm your spot, no action is needed.

If you have been allocated to a training group and have accepted your spot (see section #4), and if you have registered for early morning trainings (see section #5), once the season starts, you need to sign up to each training session. You should do this for both the first and second training session (despite having no coach in the second training of the week), as well as for the early morning training sessions.

You can use our homepage or the Sportyfriends App: Find your training session under 'Trainings' in the calendar and sign up for a specific date. Please note that all coaches have been encouraged to send players home who have not signed up for the specific training session. Important information:

• Registration for a training session opens 14 days before and closes 24 hours before the training starts.
• You can be registered for one training session at the time for each training group you are allocated to. This means that if you are allocated to two training per week, you can sign up to one session of your first training series (fx. Dame C1) and one session of your second training serie (fx. Dame C2), in the time range of 14 days.
• If the training session is fully booked, you can sign up anyway and you will be placed on a waiting list for that specific training session. In case one of the other players cancels prior training start, the players on the waiting list will be given a spot and receive an email notification about this.

Therefore, always REMEMBER to:
(i) Cancel in advance if you are prevented from participating. Always cancel on the webpage/Sportyfriends app if you are not able to go to a training you have signed up to.
(ii) Check your e-mail (incl. the spam folder) if you are on the waiting list for the training session. You might be lucky and able to join!

Note: If you have problems with signing up to a training session and the message says “You have reached your active signup limit”, please try to log in from the website (not the Sportyfriends app), empty your basket/shopping cart/indkøbskurv (icon on the top left) and then sign up again.

Once again this year, we have experienced massive interest in participation in weekly trainings, and we must therefore also announce that we unfortunately do not have spots for everyone who has shown interest. This especially affects returning members and new players who want to participate in the club's training, but who have not previously been a member of the club.

If your name does not appear in any training group, we have unfortunately not been able to find a spot for you. You have already automatically been added to our waiting list and you do not need to take any further action for this.

If one or more players do not confirm their spot or drop out in the next weeks and/or during the season, leaving free spots in the training groups, then you will be contacted via e-mail by SU. Please check your emails regularly, including your spam folder.

In the meantime, you are still very welcome to join the club, become a member and book courts for free, participate in Friday's hygge mix (where all our members are very welcome and meet each other) and the weekly summer tournament on Thursday (more information about this will be announced in the webpage).

If you are not pleased with your group allocation (fx. if the specific training day doesn’t fit your private/work schedule, if your partner is allocated to another group, if you would like to be at a higher level, etc), you can contact us by email and explain the situation. However, please note that:

• At the beginning of the season only minor adjustments will be made, but, the more in the season, the more the coaches have evaluated the level of the group and SU has assessed available spots based on players attendance.
• It is a case-by-case situation, it might take time (or not happening at all for the current season) as being moved up/down ultimately depends on availability of spots in the other groups and level fit.
• In general, it is easier to ask to be moved down to a lower level than a higher level. Please keep this in mind when you write us an email or when you make the decision below.

If you wish to be moved to another group (higher or lower), at this point of the season (when season hasn’t started yet but you need to confirm/reject your spot in the next week) you have 2 options. You can either:
A) reject your spot, not pay the training package, and ask SU by email to be placed on the waiting list for the higher/lower level group. In this case, you are not allowed to join any training groups until SU contacts you if and when a spot becomes available for you. Note: it might take weeks, months or not happen at all (see above).

or

B) accept your spot, pay the training package before the deadline (see above), join the training of the level you have been allocated to, and then ask SU by email to be placed on the waiting list of the higher/lower level. In this case, SU will contact you if and when a spot becomes available for you. If you chose this option, it is important that you pay timely (before the deadline) even though you have not received a reply from SU before the payment deadline. 

• If you are unable to finish the season for various reasons (injury, pregnancy, personal circumstances), please communicate this both to your coaches and to SU (su@cphbeach.dk).
• If you have any questions, please write us an email (su@cphbeach.dk). Please note that in case in the next week(s) we receive a higher volume of emails than our capacity of replying, we will prioritise the emails with requests whose answers are not already explained in this announcement; and reply to the rest afterwards.
• As previously communicated, please note that the email address cphbeachsu@gmail.com does NOT work anymore, and you can only reach out to SU by writing to su@cphbeach.dk

We look forward to an exciting summer season!

Best regards, Sportsudvalget (SU)
