Senior Camp Guardamar Autumn 2024
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!
Over 7 days (5 training days) in October, senior players will gather in Spain to train and improve together. National team coaches will be on hand to ensure your stay is the best and most rewarding camp this fall. While this will be a top-notch table tennis camp, 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 3.5 mil south of Alicante Airport. The town has approximately 20,000 residents, and the hotel is situated 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 the participants’ skill levels, you’ll get the most out of this camp. In addition to this, there will also be time for you to do fun activities together. No matter your skill level, we’ll make sure everyone has a great week of training and a fantastic experience!
| Location | Guardamar (Spain) |
| Dates | October 13–19, 2024 |
| 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. |
| Meals | A breakfast buffet at the hotel is included. For lunch and dinner, everyone chooses where they want to eat. 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 into groups and tailored to skill level. Younger players may participate but must be accompanied by a responsible adult. |
The head coach at the camp is Marcus Sjöberg, former head coach of the Swedish and English national teams. Marcus is one of the most accomplished and successful coaches in Europe in recent years. Joining Marcus as a coach will be Anton Åkesson, who has served as head coach at some of Sweden’s and Norway’s top clubs.
Several talented players who compete in Spain’s top two leagues will serve as sparring partners and assistant coaches during the camp as needed.
The gym is located at Palau Sant Jaume, 03140 Guardamar del Segura, Alicante, and is just a 10-minute scenic walk from the hotel.
