The place
COS Spala is a well-equipped training and accommodation center that welcomes both Polish and international national teams across various Olympic disciplines, as well as beach volleyball enthusiasts. The facility offers top-notch resources for physical recovery and rehabilitation.
The hall where we will train is the most modern beach volleyball hall in Poland. It accommodates 3 or 4 (depending on the layout) full-size beach volleyball courts. The hall is very high and warm, so there’s no need to wear thermal clothing. The temperature inside typically stays between 23-26℃.
The center is nestled in beautiful forests, offering a perfect setting for relaxation between training sessions. You can take a stroll in the woods, visit the swimming pool, enjoy ice cream in town, or even go mushroom picking in the autumn if that interests you!
The plan
The training camp in Spala includes 4 professional sessions with experienced coaches. The final training times may change slightly depending on the number of participants. When participating in the camp, you must be available for your stay in Spala from 2:30 PM on Friday to 2:00 PM on Sunday. Outside of the training hours, you will be able to use the courts.

How to get there? Isn't the camp for people from Poland only?
We have already hosted people from many different countries! So don’t hesitate! You can combine a city break to Warsaw with our camp! The training is in English.
The closest major airport is Warsaw – Chopin (WAW) operating many flights from all over Europe. Other one is Modlin (WMI). To get from Warsaw to Spala it’s best to use a car. We have many camp participants traveling from Warsaw. If you’re flying to Warsaw it’s best to arrange a lift with other participants – we can help you out. We create a Whats’app group around 7 days before the camp, and people arrange shared transport there. If you will still have problems – let us know, we will help.
Accommodation and meals
We will be staying in one of the hotels at the COS Spała. Rooms are available as singles or doubles, and each room is equipped with a bathroom, refrigerator, TV, and Wi-Fi access. You can view photos of the rooms in the camp’s gallery.
For those arriving with children, we may be able to secure a triple room, but there are only a few available, so please let us know promptly. It is not possible to add extra beds.
The offer includes full board, with meals served buffet style. The food is very healthy and varied, tailored to the needs of athletes. Complementing the dining options are cafés and a bar. Since all meals are served buffet style, those with special dietary requirements, such as vegans and vegetarians, will be able to choose dishes that suit their needs.
Training
You will train in groups of no more than six people, with the exception of groups of beginners, where there may be up to eight people. Each court will have one coach assigned. We work only with professional and experienced coaches. Your development is our priority.
There is an option to purchase additional private training sessions for individuals or teams. Given that the trainings scheduled during the camp will already be intensive, we suggest planning any additional sessions for Sunday afternoon. If you’re interested in additional training, please contact us directly, preferably in advance.
Who is the camp for?
Our camps attract a diverse crowd of individuals, teams, and groups of friends. If you’re on your own and hesitant to join the camp, don’t worry—we’ll match you with a roommate and a training group that suits your level (which you’ll specify when signing up for the camp). You also have the option of choosing a single room. The beach volleyball community is a cool, friendly, and open group of people, so if you come alone, you’re guaranteed to leave with many new friends and a squad for future camps!
Are you a complete beginner worried about not keeping up? Don’t be! We train people at all skill levels, and those who once came to their first camp without any skills now train in intermediate and advanced groups. Everyone has to start somewhere!
Our camps are designed for both adults and minors who will stay in the hotel under the supervision of adults. So far, we’ve had the pleasure of coaching individuals aged from 15 to 60 years old. We’re always happy to broaden this range, so if you’re worried that you might not fit in age-wise with the rest of the group, don’t be!
