There are some really great news to announce in these last days of 2008 - the FLVB (Fédération Luxembourgeoise de Volleyball) has found an agreement with a group of motivated beachvolley-players and a new Beachvolley-Commission has been formed inside the structure of the FLVB.
After some weeks, the first results of the new FLVB-Beach-Commission are already visible:
- a brand new FLVB-Internetpage for everything that concerns Beachvolley has been created. This site will officially been launched by the FLVB for the Novotel Cup the next week-end, but is already online. To have a look, just click on the following link: www.beach.flvb.lu
- we have got official confirmation that discussions between the ministry of sports and the city of Esch/Alzette are under way, in order to construct an Indoor-Beachvolleyball-Hall. A working group has been formed and Norma Zambon, as a member of the FLVB-Beach-Commission and well known athlete, will be consulted as Beachvolley-expert.
- the date for the 2009 National Beachvolley-Championship can already be confirmed. After 2008, where no championship coud be organised, for 2009, you can book the week-end of the 11th and 12th July in your agendas for this event. Location and organization details are still in discussion, but more information will be available soon.
So, I invite you to have a look at www.beach.flvb.lu to meet the new Beach-team of the FLVB. For any questions about Beachvolley, they will always be at your service. For any beach-news, this new site will be the right place to get serious and actual information.
As you noticed, my blog was not updated as regularly as it used to be, because a lot of work had to be done for the new FLVB Internet page. But I will keep it alive to give you my personal view of the small luxemburgish Beachvolley world (with some crackling rumours, who knows) - the first adress for brand hot news will be the new FLVB-Beach-site.
I wish you a lot of fun on tomorrow's New Year's Eve, a healthy and happy 2009 and a lot of success in Beachvolley.
See you soon on a Beach-Court - spring is not so far away as you think,
Happy New Year,

Update of the Beachcourt List
The two beachcourts in Weiler, available in Summer, for some time already, have been added in the list. For those who want to go there, Weiler is a small location between Hosingen and Vianden, in the north of the country.
Every year, a beachvolley-tournament for Hobby-Players is also organised, end of July.

Season 2008 almost finished in Luxembourg
Hello all,
it's true that over the summer I didn't have a lot of time to spend to my blog, to announce you some more beachvolley news. But I suppose, you were also training a lot and playing tournaments on the weekends and you didn't have the time to sit in front of your computer.
I definitely had the feet in the sand quite every day :-))
I hope you enjoyed your beachvolley season and you had the results you expected. But first of all that you had a lot of fun. As every summer, I got in contact with some new people and I realized that the beachvolley family in Luxembourg is still growing.
There is a good old slogan in sport that says "After the season is before the season" and this is especially true for beachvolleyball, where you have to organize, with your partner, your trainings, your tournaments and perhaps your beachvolley-travels of the next season.
That's a lot of work and you must be careful to start in time.
Autumn and winter months are the best therefore and so the preparation of the season 2009, for me, will start in October.
I hope I can give you, over the winter, once again some interesting news, some useful tips and some precious contact adresses to participate in beachcamps, tournaments and other events. (Don't forget: 2009 is the year of the BEACHVOLLEY WORLDCHAMIONSHIP in Stavanger from 26th June to 5th July).
But for the moment, I will give myself two weeks of holidays in Corsica and I'll be back again to organizational work for the 2009-season, in October.

Superb weather for the first Beachvolley-tournament 2008
After some days of silence, to pay homage to our beloved Deni, life has to go on and the time has come to concentrate again on the starting beachseason 2008.
The exhibition tournament in Strassen on the 27th april was globally a great success with 4 teams very satisfied with the organisation and the location as well as the preparation they could get from this tournament.
After some tight matches, the final was played between the Lieckens Sisters and our Beachqueens, Jeanne and Norma. After a hard-fought first set that the Lieckens Sisters won 26 by 24, the second one was a bit clearer, and Jeanne and Norma had to accept the second place in the final ranking.
The second luxemburgish team Mander-Gudmannsson are also starting quite well in their first beachvolley-season and won a set against the team Beken-Beken.
Here the detail of the results:
The positive feedback we got from this tournament was great and we will try to organize this tournament once again in 2009. The idea to let the second court at the disposal of the spectators will also be maintained for the next year, unless we need it for the progression of the tournament.

In memoriam Denitza "Deni" Krivova
This weekend, the luxembourgish Volleyball-World has lost one of its ever most talented an ambitious player, in a cruel car-accident, Saturday in the early morning hour.
Deni, we will always keep you in our heart and we will, forever, remember your positive thinking and your shining smile. We are very sorrow that we can never again laugh with you on a Beachvolleycourt.
So we are really sad to have lost you, but we are very happy that we had the chance to know you.
In your very short life you left an inerasable trace.
My sincere condolences are going to Antonia and Ranguel: you can be very proud of your daughter, of what she achieved and of what she represents for so many of us.
Rest in peace, Freizeit-Deni

Another Beachvolleycamp in Montpellier from 17th to 25th May
Being back only for about two weeks, and the weather here in Luxembourg being awful every day, we decided to go back to Montpellier for another camp.
The camp will take place from 17th to 25th may, but the length of your stay in south of France can be decided by your own, if you want to stay for holidays.
The training sessions will start on Monday 18th may and stop on Friday 24th. These sessions will focus on individual techniques and not on physical strength and condition (see our report from 1st April below).
Eventually, there will even be a possibility to play a tournament on Saturday 25th may (to be confirmed).
So we have to be at the Beach-Academy at least on Monday morning, but if you want you can travel to Montpellier some days earlier as the Academy will organise its annual "Montpellier Beach Masters" in the heart of the city.
The Beach Masters are well known to be a big event with tournaments, training sessions, beach ambiance and a lot of party. So don't miss this event from 8th to 18th may.
If you are interested to join us, or if you have some further questions (travelling, hotel, price,...), just mail me (cposing@pt.lu) and you will receive an invitation with further details.

We are back from Montpellier !!
Hello to all people who stayed here in Luxembourg in the cold and windy winter weather,
Sunday evening at 18:00, we came back from our Beachvolley Trainingcamp in Montpellier. As last year it was once again a really great experience.
After arriving, we spent nearly two days of relaxed sightseeing (Montpellier, Grau-du-Roi and Aigues-Mortes in the near Camargue).
On Monday the training sessions started. Every morning a session of about 1 hour and a half was planned with Ruben Barrera, the argentinien trainer of the Montpellier Beachvolley Academy. In the afternoons we had a beachcourt at our disposal for a further gameplay session on our own.
Focus was put on individual skills for passing, defending and blocking with the main part of the exercises concentrating on defense with the various possible techniques.
On Saturday, a tournament with some teams from the region of Montpellier was organised and we closed the event with some drinks to celebrate our friendship with the people of Montpellier Beachvolley.
Besides this, we could also get a glimpse of a very professional statistics program, as well as an example of a detailed training plan for a whole season.
A very special thanks to Stéphane Canet, Mathieu Hamel and Ruben Barrera for their help with all our questions about beachvolley, organisation, season planning and nutrition.
Another special thank to Joël for his huge generosity and useful hints.
And last but not least, from my side, a big compliment to Norma, Jeanne, Dani, Frank and Christian for their teamspirit. Without teamspirit, the organisation of such a camp would be very difficult.
And now a very good news for all those who missed this opportunity: a second training camp will be organised the week after Pentecost (approximately from 19th to 24th may)
If you are interested, just send an e-mail to: cposing@pt.lu

Stormy Season Start in Strassen
Yesterday, 1st March, the new Beachvolleyball season 2008 definitely started in Strassen with our first training session on the outdoor beachcourt. Even if it was a little bit windy, temperature was ok and it didn't rain. Not so bad finally for a first session in march.
It was really big fun to be on the beachcourt again. Thanks to Norma, Jeanne, Dani and Fitti.
Who said Beachvolleyball is only a summer sport??

Beachvolley Indoor: Training sessions continue...
As for several weekends now on, a small group of 6 passionate beachvolleyplayers did, once again, take the time, two weeks ago, to travel to Niederkassel for some pre-season training sessions in the Indoor-Beachvolley-Hall.
But this time we wanted to try something new: a short Training-camp of two days.
On second day, the serious one, we did a first training unit from 10:00 to 12:00 and a second one from 13:00 to 15:00.
These 6 hours of training were quite demanding, but the intensity was well chosen for everybody to keep going just to the end. There were exercises to improve technique, without forgetting gameplay.
We all agreed that the 2-day-formula optimizes the relation between the travelling-time and the time on the beachcourts, and is finally more relaxing.
So, more weekends like this will probably follow.If you like to know more, or if you want to participate, just write me an e-mail (cposing@pt.lu)
Beachcourt-List updated
A new entry has been made in the Beachcourts-List:
The club of Beckerich has at its disposal two beachcourts just near the sports hall.
For further information please contact M. Tom Kirtz (691 849 838).

It's unbelievable, but Carlo Mach has left us
It's with a great sadness I heared that, two days ago, Carlo Mach went to sleep from which he should never stay up again.Carlo was a real sportsman, with complete commitment and a perfect life discipline and this way the perfect example for the younger generation. Regardless of his numerous successes in Volleyball-Championship, he never showed the slightest sign of arrogance.
Besides his passion and quite legendary successes in Volleyball, he also was a great Beachvolleyballplayer.
Carlo, I am honored to have had the occasion to play against you on a Beachcourt. I appreciated a lot your discrete way and your friendliness.
I wish you a very sunny Beachcourt up there on cloud number nine.
To all the familiy and friends of Carlo, my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy.

Weather forecast added !!
From now on, you can have a look at the weather forecast for the city of Luxembourg (see in the sidebar at the right just below the tournaments calendar.
Very useful to plan the beachvolley sessions here in Luxembourg where nothing is less sure than sunny weather.
Even if it's not a reason to stop playing :-)

Beachvolleycamp in Montpellier (23rd - 30th March 2008)
Another big event will take place before the start of the Beachvolley season in Luxembourg!!
We are actually organizing, together with the Montpellier Beachvolley Academy, a Beachvolley-Camp for the first week of the Easter holidays.
Every day, from monday to friday, a training session will be held from approximately 9:00 to 12:00. In the afternoon, you will also have the possibility to play some matches on the courts of the academy.
The last day (saturday) a small tournament with people from the academy, the near region as well as from other countries will probably be organised.
The training sessions are focused on acquiring the basique techniques and are not too much demanding on a physical level. And if the training is really professional, the trainers always respect the different technical levels and possibilities of the participants - the sessions keep being big fun for everybody.
Price:
Training Camp: +/- 110 EUR
Hotel: 30 - 50 EUR per night and person (incl. breakfast), depending on the hotel vacancies
Travel costs: +/- 100 EUR (car or plane)
Besides the Beachvolley trainings, a lot of other activities are possible in Montpellier: shopping in the city, visits in the near region with the Cévennes natural parc and the Camargue, sailing, rowing, surfing or other watersports. So if you want to take your wife / husband / girlfriend... with you, no problem to get them occupied while you are at the Beachvolleycamp.
If you are interested, please let me know as soon as possible (deadline: 31st january). I will send you a detailed invitation with more informations. For further questions, just contact me by mail (cposing@pt.lu).
So, call your boss, fix a week of holidays for Easter and join us in Montpellier - city where the sun never sets !!

Beach Indoor training sessions have started !!
The two first training sessions this winter in an Indoor-Beachvolley-Hall have been hold Sunday 13. january and Sunday 20. january.
The first one has been in Wallau and the second one in Niederkassel, which seems to be the better place as it has 6 courts, heated sand and cheeper rental fees.
Both weekends, training was composed by 2 sessions of approximately 1,5 hours, where the first one concentrated on technical training and the second one on gameplay.
This was really great fun and we decided to organize a small Beachvolleycamp for the weekend of 9th and 10th febrauary, once again in Niederkassel. Program will be the following: one session of 2 hours on Saturday late afternoon and 2 sessions of 2 hours Sunday morning and early afternoon.
There is still one place available - so just send me an e-mail if you want to participate.
