Learn about it and then join in on the fun
They say footvolley was created by Octavio de Moraes in
1965 in Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach. In the 1980s footvolley
arrived in Europe via Portugal. Since 2000 the sport gained a lot of
popularity in Europe and Asia.
The game is 2 against 2, barefoot in the sand, on a beach volleyball
court of 8 x 16 meters. The game starts with a service from the ground
behind the service line. While serving the ball it is allowed to touch
the edge of the net. The receiving team is allowed to return the ball
immediately but 3 contacts (reception - setup - attack) are preferable.
The same player cannot touch the ball two times in a row, that means no
juggling. You can use all body parts except your hands and arms. During
a rally it's not allowed to touch the net with your body or the point
goes to the opponent. You can score a point when the ball touches the
ground on the opponents side within or on the lines. You also score a
point when the opponent is unable to play the ball over to your side in
maximum three touches. Every attack should pass in between the antennas
on top of the net. If the ball touches the antenna, the point goes to
the opponent.
Footvolley is all about
sun, sea, beach and fun; long rallies and spectacular points.
This sensational team sport demands an excellent balance, ball control,
endurance, focus and quick reflexes. Body and mind in harmony with
respect and fairplay. Footvolley is eye-catchingly addictive and
everybody can play. Young or old, man or woman, anyone can learn it.
