What is the right course level?

Beginner A1

You have little to no experience in beach volleyball. Maybe you’ve played a bit of volleyball at the beach or in school, but 2v2 beach volleyball is completely new to you.

At this level, the focus is on getting a feel for the ball and moving in the sand. We start with simple ball control drills and introduce the basic skills like passing, setting, and serving. Most importantly, it’s about having fun and enjoying the game.

Beginner A2

You already have some basic experience in beach volleyball or have completed an A1 course. You can pass, set, and serve in simple situations, even though mistakes still happen.

In training, we focus more on improving your technique and ball control. You’ll start playing simple 2v2 games, learning how to work with a partner and keep the ball in play over multiple contacts.

Beginner A3

You already have some experience in beach volleyball or have completed an A2 course.
You’re able to play 2v2 games and are familiar with the basic skills like serve receive, setting, and attacking. Rallies with multiple contacts happen regularly, but there are still quite a few technical errors and your overall game structure isn’t fully consistent yet.

In training, we focus on making your rallies more consistent and improving your ability to build plays using all three contacts.

Intermediate M1

You play beach volleyball regularly and can keep rallies going over multiple contacts. Serving, serve receive, and setting are consistent in simple situations, and you’re working toward building plays with three contacts. Attacks are often controlled from a standing position or with a basic approach. Under pressure, errors still occur and your overall structure isn’t always consistent.

You may already be competing in C-level tournaments but are not winning them yet.

Intermediate M2

You play beach volleyball regularly and can structure your gameplay in most rallies. You may already compete in C-level tournaments and achieve good results. Reception and setting are stable, allowing your team to consistently attack using three contacts.

You usually attack with a jump and can mix powerful hits with well-placed shots. Serves and attacks are used deliberately to put pressure on your opponents.

Advanced F1

You play at a level where you can confidently win C-level tournaments. Your technique is solid, even under pressure. Your gameplay is reliable, and your team consistently builds structured attacks. You can control all types of balls and intentionally use both powerful spikes and well-placed shots. Blocking and defense are also used strategically to pressure your opponents.

Advanced Pro (Fortgeschrittene Pro)

You regularly play at B-level tournaments or higher and have very solid technique as well as extensive match experience. Attack, block, and defense work together in a structured way, and you deliberately use a variety of serves, attacks, and shots to score points. At this level, training focuses mainly on fine-tuning, tactical details, and maximizing consistency in your game.
