Hospitality and units at a beach volleyball event: what to look out for
Temporary structures at a sporting event
A major beach volleyball event is not only about the matches on the sand. Behind the scenes and along the courts, there is a need for VIP hospitality, production spaces, rest areas for teams and clear information points for visitors. All these functions have to be set up quickly, look professional and fit onto an often challenging site. During the U18 Beach Volleyball World Championship in The Hague, we showed how foldable units make this possible.
Why foldable units?
On a temporary event site, every day of setup time counts. Foldable units are compact to transport and quick to assemble, which means fewer truck movements and less time on site. This is not only efficient, but also convenient on a busy site between sports courts.
- Efficient transport: up to 10 units on a single truck.
- Quick setup: ideal for a tight event schedule.
- Flexible: the same units are suitable for a wide range of functions.
Different functions on one site
During the U18 Beach Volleyball World Championship, the units were used for multiple purposes. This clearly shows how versatile a single system can be:
- VIP decks: double-decker units with stairs, railing and roof terrace offer an elevated view of the courts. Perfect for guests and business relations.
- Production spaces: a lockable workspace for the operational and technical crew.
- Rest areas: a quiet place for teams and staff.
- Information and ticket units: recognisable desks for accreditation, tickets and information.
What to look out for when choosing?
If you want to use units at a sporting event, keep a number of points in mind:
- View and experience: a double-decker unit with a roof terrace gives VIP guests the best overview of the court.
- Surface and location: on sand or grass, a system that is quick and stable to install is a major advantage.
- Branding: fully brandable units strengthen the appearance of the tournament and its partners.
- Combinability: choose a system that lets you create multiple functions from the same building blocks.
Branding as part of the experience
At major events, appearance is at least as important as function. Fully branded units, such as the orange tournament banners during the U18 Beach Volleyball World Championship, create a consistent and recognisable overall look. This way, practical structures become part of the event's brand experience and partners are immediately visible.
From idea to setup
Whether it concerns hospitality along the courts, a production space or an information point: with a well thought-out and foldable unit system, you create a professional event site without any hassle. The deployment during the U18 Beach Volleyball World Championship in The Hague shows how a wide range of functions come together on one site.
