WE DO BEACH!

Choose your day below to see what you will be getting up to!

Arrivals Day! Get your transfer over from Faro Airport, check into your hotel, and make your way down to the beach to play some beach volleyball, get to meet your fellow campers, the Deep Dish Coaches, get a feel for where everything is and pick up your goody bags!

After a bit of play and collecting your goody bags, you can head home to shower and get ready for our Welcome Dinner, where you’ll get a delicious meal and the chance to meet more of the campers.

After dinner you can either head home to get some sleep after a long day, or head out for drinks with the staff and other campers!

We’re officially kicking off our camp today, starting with an incredible morning yoga session to get us into the flow!

After an hour of yoga, we head into our first training session in the morning where you’ll be trained by one of our elite coaches, get a feel for the level group you’re in and get to meet your fellow campers.

After a lunch break, we’ll be heading into our first tournament of the week, our scramble tournament. This is where you change partners that you play with every game (we will allocate them to you) so you get to meet as many of the campers as possible on your first day.

After playing & watching the finals on centre court, feel free to grab a drink, and watch our coaches exhibition, so you can see the level you’ll be training up towards by the end of the week. Our elite-level coaches will be sure to put on a show!

Now that we’ve all dusted off our sand feet, we’re heading into our second training day with two training sessions today! With a new coach in each session and a new training focus, you’ll be thrown into an epic day of learning.

After our sessions we kick off one of the most beloved tournaments of the week… the ACE tournament! This is a 6v6 drinking (optional) tournament where you’ll enter your team of min. 6, and play a scramble of games where if the ball hits the ground on your side of the court without anyone touching it, your team needs to run off a finish a beverage (we’ll be supplying beers), before you can step back onto court. Usually a ton of laughs!

After our ACE tournament you have time to go home, have dinner on the promenade with your friends, and meet us out at one of the local clubs for our fancy dress party! You will be greeted with a free drink, and can dance the night away with your fellow campers.

Today we have an awesome chilled out day that will allow you to relax a little bit. We of course start the day with our training session, with once again a new coach and a new training focus.

In the afternoon we head into our Mixed Pairs tournament, where you can sign up with a friend, or get paired up and play a full mixed tournament!

With epic centre court sunset vibes, we host some centre court entertainment and games such as our skyball competitions, for a chance to win some awesome prizes!

After this the evening is yours, where you can head out to dinner and drinks with fellow campers, go sightseeing or hit up one of the nearby towns!

Kick off the morning with another morning yoga session, which will be much needed as today is the start of the big tournament of the camp, our Rocha Rumble!

After yoga, you have another training session, before we kick off the Rocha Rumble in the afternoon. This is the camp’s championships, our grand slam if you will. Here you can enter any one of our 2 divisions (mens & womens) and fight to make it to day 2.

We will play out our pool stages and decide who makes it to the quarter finals tomorrow. We have balls available for free play for those not interested in entering the tournament, you are welcome to grab your friends and play on one of our free courts.

This is the final big day of camp, and the most anticipated day with the Rocha Rumble Finals.

We kick off the day with a shortened training session in the morning, to make sure you get your final pointers in for the day. In the afternoon we kick off the quarters, semis and finals of the Rocha Rumble!

We provide all the tunes to keep you going and centre court entertainment for those of you who didn’t make it to day 2.

After the exhilarating semi finals and finals we head to No Solo Agua, for our end of camp pool party and awards! This is the most epic venue to finish the week on, and to let loose with all your new friends.

After the pool party you can head home to get changed, have dinner and meet us out again if you’re up for it, for a late night social at one of the local clubs.

The final day of camp is upon us, but the fun isn’t over yet, and we’re going to make sure you leave on a high!

With another training session in the morning, we give you the chance to show us everything you’ve learned and enjoy some game play with your favourite coaches and fellow training group.

In the afternoon we host the epic, and revolutionary Beach Battle! Here you enter as a mixed team of 4, and will play 3 games - the ladies pairs within the 4s will play each other, while the men in the 4s play each other, and then you come together and play 4v4.

The winners will be whichever team has a collectively strong performance in both mens 2v2, womens 2v2 and mixed 4v4.

After the finals of our beach battle, we host some exhibition games and our annual charity coaches auction, where you can bid to play with your favourite coach with the chance to win some epic Deep Dish prizes.

All the proceeds for this auction go to our partner charity. After this the night is free! Have dinner with friends, and meet us out for some casual drinks on the strip.
