Beijing 2008 motivated the youth of the village, who occupied the courts of the BeachVolleyCenter outside the time of practice. We just hope that this impact will be more then a flash in the pan, allowing us to reinforce our educating action through the beach volleyball which is one of our fundamental objectives of our training center.
Greedy for sand and sun, Jean-Pierre honoured us with his presence on our beach grounds, but also during our expeditions to discover the beaches around with great blue water. And he promised us to be back for a camp in October with the beach volley buffs of his group of Air France from Nice. Must be around the third week, we will wait impatiently for you!
Jean-Pierre from Nice (FR) comes back for a “scouting” visit to organize a new camp in October 2008 after the success of the camp of December 2007 for the group of Air France. Waiting for him, we practice tough!
After a last practice which ended with a familial game, Astrid leaves us to go to Salvador de Bahia to continue a month of holidays in Brazil. The spell of our Center will may be let her come back for a second week later in the month. What we of course really hope! All cases, thank you for the visit.
In the middle of our Brazilian winter, 22° degrees last night, Astrid brings us her freshness and her craving for playing. During one week, she will be the goddess of our training center, flying over every body with a blondness and a smile.
It has been an afternoon with challenge games, followed by a dive in the “represa” to cool down just before to jump in the bus which leaves in direction to Rio. Jérôme, Julien and their sparring-partners took a good profit of those 11 days of intensive practices to progress in all the areas. Hugging and kissing, any tears, we wish tem an explosive season, and until next year!
A full moon set lighted by the sun rise, face to face on the same right, and with the ocean at the first plan, the elements had sent the word around to create the magic of a while on this 20 of May 2008 at 6.00 am. Latitude 17:07:12 south, longitude 39:11:12, on the beach, just front of the BeachVolleyCenter where every day brings its marvel of nature.
Living at many thousands of kilometers, Gustavo (BRA), Jérôme and Julien (BEL) met themselves this week on the grounds of the BeachVolleyCenter. A lot of fun and sweet fort those three guys who came here to eat a maximum of sand. But it isn’t because we are joking that we are not hustling. Rivalry and good spirits are the basic ingredients of this camp full time beach volleyball!
The BeachVolleyCenter celebrates the come back of its two principal assistants, Ioane and Jonas, who are ready to greet you 365 days a year in a very familial ambiance. Don’t forget Isabel and Sabrina who add to those mountains of muscles their typically Brazilian touch of femininity and sensuality. Welcome to the BVC!
As has been reported in our “Info-Camp”, the BeachVolleyCenter is delight to receive for the third consecutive year the Belgian team Coemans/Schumacher. But don’t trust the above picture, in spite of the beautiful beaches of the area, our duo doesn’t travel to Brazil to bask in the sand, but to take profit of deserved holidays to improve their game in view of the Smart Tour 2008 and a still expected qualification for the finals.
