Quick answer for visiting players

HeliSands welcomes visiting players in Lisbon and Costa da Caparica. Request a suitable group, private sessions with your partner or a tailored team programme. Your dates, experience and court availability determine the proposal.

Choose your training base

Estádio Universitário de Lisboa offers sand training within the city. Regular groups train Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 19:00. Parque Desportivo do Atlântico in Costa da Caparica hosts Saturday sessions at 09:30 and camps on their own dates.

Check the journey from your accommodation and confirm the court for each session. Lisbon and Costa da Caparica are separate locations; allow time for travel and arrive 20 minutes early.

Choose a group, pair session or team programme

Join a suitable group to keep your rhythm and meet other players. Private training lets you focus on reception, attack, serve or partnership decisions. A club or team programme can organise several sessions around shared goals.

International players already train with us in Lisbon. Hosting athletes with different training backgrounds has taught us to ask about recent experience before recommending a group. English-speaking coaching can be requested; confirm the session arrangements with the academy.

Send this before your trip

Include arrival and departure dates, number of athletes, recent playing experience, preferred times, location and technical goals. Tell us whether you are travelling alone, with a partner or as a team. A clear request makes the proposal easier to match to your trip.

Booking and payment

Submit the Train in Lisbon request to receive a proposal; no immediate payment is required. Wait for confirmation of format, court, schedule and price before finalising your training plan. Bring water and weather-appropriate sportswear to your confirmed session.
