Attention All Girls NEW SPORT FOR WOMEN Introducing this exciting, new women’s sport for the very first time in America. FOOTVOLLEY is as popular as soccer is on Brazilian beaches. It’s played like beach volleyball, but rather than using your hands, the players are allowed only to use their head, shoulders, chest, and legs. It requires soccer ball control and athletic skills. It’s challenging and competitive, lots of fun, and a great work out. Our instructor is Rildo Menezes, who played side by side with the great Pele on the world cup champions Brazilian National Team. Classes will be conducted on a limited space basis for better learning. Be the first ones to sign up and learn, and in the future, also teach this spectacular sport that one day will be part of the Olympics. Classes are held every sunday 2 p.m. at 8th Street in Hermosa Beach, CA. We are offering a 12 week course that meets once or twice a week. In addition to the course, there will be opportunities to participate in mixed double matches to help perfect your skills. For more information and to sign up, call Carlos at 310-809-1205, or email me at womenfootvolley@aol.com. Our website, www. womenfootvolley.com, is under construction and will soon be up and running. Check us out for tournament news, player’s boutique, and sports chat.
Footvolley (or Futvolei) has been played in Brasil for years. When I went to Santos in August, I saw people playing it and was mystified. She then explained that it was a somewhat popular game there and that people had been playing it for many years.

womenfootvolley Hi Alex,sorry about me posting the news about footvolley in the board.Please tell me how can I get authorization to promote this new and exciting sport for women,since they cancel the league,girls are not exercizing enough.Please help me.Thanks.
The sport has been around for a long time, it's hardly new. And don't come on to these boards just to advertise your business.
Anyways, let's make this thread useful. Futevolei is far more challenging and rewarding than those soccer tennis drills some people here may have experienced. I don't have the kind of skill or touch for the game (especially now that I'm not 100%), but I had a friend who would play on the mall here in DC. Everyone would stop and watch to see this neat game. Futevolei is definitely a Rio de Janeiro thing, Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon and Barra are filled with people playing futevolei day in and day out.
