A two-a-side beach volleyball played with football (soccer) skills.

It has the summer sex appeal of beach volleyball combined with acrobatic soccer moves. It originated on the beaches of Rio De Janeiro and helped legendary Brazilian players like Romario and Ronaldinho hone their skills as youngsters.

Foot Volley is played on a beach volleyball court where you use your feet, not your hands, and points are scored exactly the same as in volleyball. You can also use your head, chest, legs, and creativity.
