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.

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.

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.
