Quick answer: five checks before booking

Look for a suitable level, clear goals, coached training, a manageable training load and transparent booking conditions. Compare the full programme and total travel cost alongside the advertised camp fee.

Start with the group level

Ask whether groups are separated by experience and what entry requirements apply. Intermediate and competitive athletes need different challenges. Describe your current level, weekly training and whether you are bringing a partner.

Look for purposeful coaching

Confirm who coaches, the number of sessions, recovery time and whether match play or a tournament is included. Ask how feedback is delivered and whether video analysis is part of the programme rather than assuming it is included.

In our daily coaching, exercises connect to the next action: reception builds an attack, defence creates a transition and serving has an intention. A camp should explain what you will work on as well as how long you will train.

Check logistics and inclusions

Verify the court, travel, accommodation, meals and equipment. A camp in the Lisbon region may take place in Costa da Caparica. Request a clear inclusions list and read cancellation conditions before paying.
