rebellious youngsters wanted to find a way to go against the restriction of playing soccer on the beach, and started to explore possibilities

octavio de moraes created an alternative to the problems of all excitable beach soccer players - on a beautiful day at copacabana beach in 1965, octavio created footvolley

originally five on five footvolley is, exactly as the name states, a combination of volleyball and football - the rules are almost identical to the rules of beach volleyball but participants contact the ball with their head, shoulders, knees and feet

all body parts are available for contact in footvolley except the hands and arms
