Beach volleyball in Dakar can be played either in a coached one-hour lesson or by hiring a court for two hours, on a beach court. Equipment is provided, drinks are at your own expense, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

A lesson or a court, depending on whether you want to learn or play

There are two options. The first is a one-hour coached beach volleyball lesson, priced per person: it suits those discovering the game, or wanting to brush up the basics. The second is court hire for two hours at a flat rate: you come as a group, with your own team, to play among friends, without a coach.

Equipment is included in both cases: no need to bring your own, and booking is done in advance, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Drinks are not included: bring them separately, on site.

If you live in Dakar, hiring the court is a weekend idea for a group: you book a slot, call your friends, and play. If you are visiting, the lesson is a way to try a sport that goes naturally with the beach, without bringing anything.

Beach volleyball and the beach in Dakar

The court is a beach volleyball court in Dakar, on the beach. The peninsula has several beaches, such as Ngor beach, facing its island, which is also popular for surfing. Sand, wind and light are the natural setting for this sport, in a city that, in its own words, is lived through its neighbourhoods, its ocean and its tempo. An hour’s lesson is enough to pick up the basics again; two hours of hire leave time for several sets.

Extending the day on the beach

To stay in a beach mood, a private beach day can follow a match, as can a surf lesson or a paddle and kayak session. Further sports coaching and fitness options complement the training, and Ngor Island makes a half-day escape.
