From Brazil to Cali
BPC grew from a lifelong love of footvolley and the joy of sharing it with others.
Pedro and Bruno brought that same love for the game to California, with a vision to create something of their own. We teach the details, make room for every level, and celebrate the moments that keep people coming back, whether that's your first touch or a hard-fought point with friends.
Not just a place to train, but a club people actually want to belong to.
We're here to grow the game.
Footvolley was born on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro in the 1960s. Take a beach volleyball court, a soccer ball, and one rule: no hands.
You play with your feet, thighs, chest, shoulders and head. Every touch takes balance, timing and technique. That's why it's so hard to put down once it clicks.
Copacabana. Ipanema. Arpoador. Footvolley was born on these beaches in the 1960s, and that's the game we bring to California.
Learn it the right way.
We believe great players are built through strong fundamentals, repetition and a lot of touches on the ball. Our sessions combine:
Serious about the game.
Never too serious to have fun.
Players first. Coaches second.
Our coaches don't just teach footvolley. They play it, study it and love it. Each brings a unique perspective, but the same standard: helping you grow and love the game.
Co-Founder & Coach
Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Pedro grew up in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's football and footvolley capitals, where the sport is woven into everyday beach life. Soccer brought him to the United States, first to New York, then Fresno, and then to Azusa Pacific University where he played college soccer.
Co-Founder & Coach
Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil
Bruno grew up in Vitória, Espírito Santo, where futsal and soccer were constants in his life. He discovered footvolley as a natural extension of his beach lifestyle and went on to coach at OGBPC in Brazil before bringing his passion to California.
Assistant Coach
Edu started at BPC as a student. He fell for the game, kept showing up, and now coaches alongside the people who taught him.
Different styles. Same standard.

Location: Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz
Four Sundays. One community.
Every summer we take over Seabright Beach for friendly footvolley, churrasco, cold drinks and plenty of resenha. Come play, relax, and celebrate the friendships that make our club feel like family.
Bruno brings so much knowledge and energy to BPC. He has a way of catching the smallest details in your game and making adjustments that actually click. You can tell he genuinely loves footvolley, and loves seeing people get better at it.
BPC creates a great learning environment where the coaches know how to work with all levels. Whether you've played before or never in your life. It's a great balance between learning and having fun. The community that exists is very special and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Pedro is an incredible coach. He is truly dedicated to our growth, which keeps the team motivated and engaged. I'm so grateful to have found this community and for how being part of it has transformed my relationship with sports.
I started at BPC as a student myself, so getting to grow into a coach and now teach alongside the people who taught me has been incredibly special. Watching this community grow, and seeing new players fall in love with the game the same way I did, is easily one of my favorite parts of being here.

Coaches, classes, and everything that happens after. There's more on Instagram.
Everything you need to know before your first class.
Footvolley is a sport that combines soccer and beach volleyball. Players use their feet, chest, shoulders, and head, but no hands, to get the ball over the net. It originated in Brazil in the 1960s on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro and has grown into a global sport known for its incredible athleticism, technical skill, and beach culture.
Soccer experience helps but is absolutely not required. We welcome everyone, from complete beginners to experienced soccer players to volleyball players. Our coaches adapt training to your current skill level and help you progress at your own pace.
Absolutely! Our classes are beginner-friendly by design. We start with fundamentals, ball control, basic touches, positioning, and build from there. Many of our students had never played footvolley before their first class.
We currently train in two locations: the San Francisco Bay Area (our primary location) and Corona del Mar / Newport Beach. Exact training spots are shared when you sign up. We train on beach or sand courts, the authentic footvolley experience.
Yes! The San Francisco Bay Area is our primary training location. We offer classes on Tuesday at 5 PM, Thursday at 5 PM, and Saturday at 9 AM. We serve the broader Bay Area including Peninsula, South Bay, East Bay, and surrounding communities.
Yes! We have a growing branch in Corona del Mar / Newport Beach offering footvolley training for the Southern California community. Contact us via Instagram @bolapracimafootvolley or use our sign-up form to get the current schedule.
Wear athletic clothes you're comfortable moving in. Bring water, sunscreen, and a soccer ball if you have one. Since we train on sand, you can go barefoot or wear sand socks. No special footvolley shoes are required for beginners.
Each class is one hour: 10 minutes of warm-up and dynamic stretching, 30 minutes of skill development and technical training, and 20 minutes of games and scrimmages.
The easiest way is to fill out our sign-up form on this website or send us a DM on Instagram @bolapracimafootvolley. We'll confirm the current schedule, location, and get you set up for your first session.
Footvolley is one of the best complementary sports for soccer players. It builds exceptional first touch, ball control under pressure, aerial technique, and soccer IQ. Many professional soccer players in Brazil regularly play footvolley in the off-season.
Tell us a bit about you and we'll get you into your first class. Or skip the form and message a coach directly.
