International camp with Mikael "Äpplet" Appelgren
Nordic Table Tennis
Welcome to the best table tennis experience of the fall! This fall,
Nordic Table Tennis is organizing the most exciting table tennis camp of the year, where you can combine a week-long vacation at a hotel right by the sea with world-class table tennis training! This year, we’re continuing our success with Mikael “Äpplet” Appelgren as one of the camp’s coaches.
For 7 days (5 training days) in September, senior players will gather in Spain to train and develop together. National team coach Marcus Sjöberg and former world champion Mikael “Äpplet” Appelgren (Mikael will be there for 3 of the days) are in charge of making this the best and most rewarding camp of the fall. Not only will this be a top-class table tennis camp, but the sun, swimming, and warm weather—combined with great food—will make this experience your best table tennis memory yet!
Guardamar is a small, charming coastal town located about 35 km south of Alicante Airport. The town has about 20,000 residents, and the hotel is right on the incredibly beautiful, long beach and close to both the town center and the boardwalk.
Our goal for the camp is to ensure it’s of the very highest quality, and regardless of your skill level, you’ll get the most out of this camp. In addition, there will also be time for you to do fun things together. No matter your skill level, we’ll make sure everyone has a great week of training and a fantastic experience!
During this camp, all instruction in the gym will be in English, so the camp is geared toward international players. Of course, players from the Nordic countries whose primary language is Swedish are also welcome to participate in this camp.
| Location | Guardamar (Spain) |
| Dates | September 20–26, 2026 |
| Accommodations | We’ll be staying at the cozy Hotel Guardamar, located right on the beautiful sandy beach. The hotel features a pool and balconies with ocean views. The hotel is currently undergoing a complete renovation and will be upgraded from a 2-star to a 4-star property; the renovation is scheduled to be completed by summer 2026. |
| Meals | A breakfast buffet at the hotel is included. For lunch and dinner, everyone chooses where they want to eat on their own. We’ll organize two group dinners, which are optional. |
| Who is it for | The camp is aimed at senior and veteran players (minimum age is 18). Everyone from recreational to elite players is welcome. Training will be divided and tailored by skill level. Younger players may participate but must be accompanied by a responsible adult. All briefings in the training hall during this camp will be conducted in English. |
The head coach at the camp is Sweden’s current men’s national team coach, Marcus Sjöberg. Marcus is one of the most accomplished and successful coaches in Europe in recent years, along with Mikael “Äpplet” Appelgren, a four-time world champion and winner of no fewer than nine European Championship gold medals. Joining Marcus Sjöberg and Mikael Appelgren as coaches will be Anton Åkesson, who has served as head coach at some of Sweden and Norway’s top clubs.
Several talented players and coaches from Spain will also be on hand during the camp to assist as assistant coaches and sparring partners.
The gym is located at Palau Sant Jaume, 03140 Guardamar del Segura, Alicante, and is just a 10-minute scenic walk from the hotel.
