Dear all,

I really need a detailed explantion for those expressions:

[THE LAST FEW MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN PRACTISING A LOT HERE IN OUR INDOOR FACILITY LINDOBEACH ]

[Close to the sea is the Dutch Volleyball Federation’s unique indoor facility.]

I think the words "beach" and "indoor" are very contradictory. I can't imagine the meaning.

Thanks a lot.

I agree with your conclusion. Perhaps a comma is missing before LINDOBEACH. If so, that would be the facility's name and should not be taken literally.

Just google Lindobeach. The first result is their website. It's an indoor beach: some sand and pictures of the ocean.

There's mall here in Canada with an indoor beach and a pool with waves that's supposed to feel like the sea.
