Oltremare Racquet Camp will take place July 6–20, 2025, in Riccione

This beautiful resort town on the east coast of Italy boasts wide walking streets, pristine beaches, and fun activities for all ages. The beach “piazza” (square) is the perfect place to congregate, watch a volleyball match, and sample some “gelato” (ice cream).

Home to some of Italy’s champion swimmers and the training ground for Michael Phelps, Riccione earned the nickname “la Perla Verde” (the Green Pearl) for its affluent villas and greenery, including the park near the National Squash Center, where we’ll train.

Riccione is conveniently situated for side trips to Florence and San Marino.
