Anyone who can kick and head a ball is welcome to play. We have special balls for kids, so parents should not worry. Since Footvolley is an impact free sport, the risk of injury is very mild to any player. In fact, the sport strengthens core muscles  of your body and the sand offers a great resistance to build lower muscles and recover from lower body joint injuries (ankles and knees).

The rules are the same as volleyball, except that a regular game goes to 18 points and you are not allowed to use your hands. The ball is put into play by serving the ball with one’s foot over the net to the opponent’s court. A team is allowed to hit the ball three times to return it to the opponent’s court. A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice consecutively.  The rally continues until the ball touches the ground or goes “out” or a team fails to return it to the opponent’s court or commits a fault.   If a team fails to deliver the ball over the net then the opposing team is rewarded with the point.

Have you ever tried surfing? Footvolley is much easier as the surface is not moving!! Like any ball sports, it’s you, the ball and the objective. It’s contact free, so a lot safer than even baseball! In three sessions you will get the hang of it, and in 3 months you will be playing. After that, whether you will become a skilled player will depend on your commitment, addiction to the sport and skill, just like any sports.

 It is true that if you play soccer, you will have it easier for yourself, but the facts show that a lot of the best players also come from non soccer players, who were either goalkeepers or have had some exposure to volleyball in the past.

The sport bases itself on playing the ball in the air at around 1-2ft above net height and always aiming near the net towards your partner, so the court and body movement mimic the exact volleyball dynamic.

 This is an intense sport, so a lot of people who hate lower body workout in the gym, will love it! If you like functional workouts and outdoor sports, this is up your alley!

Don’t worry, check Natalia Guitler and Bianca (link here) so you can see the technique and grace. Girls usually use their shoulders to receive and set balls, it’s a very safe and injury free technique. Join our clinics and come practice with us!
