Skål International Switzerland participates in the ‘Fun & Beach 2025’ Volleyball Tournament

Skål International Sporting Spirit.

Skål International Switzerland participated as a guest and non-competitor with members of Skål International of Montreux-Vevey, Skål International Lausanne and Skål International Geneva for the third consecutive time in the 13th edition of the ‘Fun & Beach’ tournament organised by TAP Air Portugal, VT Vacances and Club Med in Ecublens/VD.


Each team was made up of four or five people but only travel agents. A minimum of two women per team is required by the rules. The two semi-finalists will fly to southern Spain in November for the 2025 Fun & Beach final, which will take place from 1 to 5 November at a premium resort, Club Med Magna Marbella.

As every year, the ‘Skål Toujours’ team was coached by our National Treasurer, Gianni Sarno. Our players on the field were:

  • Aurélie Bourcart, National President.

  • Julie Beuchat-Bourcart, National Secretary, and her daughter Lycia.

  • Georges Koch, Skål International Director Region 6, and his son Thomas.

  • Nath de Tran, Skål International Genève member.

The team was reinforced for its last match of six by Nathalie Serre, a friend of Peter Butler, National Vice-President, who secured the third victory in six matches with her teammates.

For the record: In previous competitions, the Skål International team had never won a single match!

Unlike in other sports, the team's coach has never been dismissed and enjoys the complete confidence of all the players.
