Frescobol is Brazilian style paddle ball typically played on the beach. It is non competitive and there are no winners and losers. It's more a recreational activity than a sport and is about having fun and building comradery. You should join this group if you like racket sports and the beach, or if you like being active and trying new activities.
The objective is simple. Using a wooden racket, try to hit the ball back and forth in the air as many times as possible. Much like a volley in tennis or ping pong except there is no net and the ball can't touch the ground. It can be played singles, 1 vs 1, or doubles, 2 vs 2.
Along with soccer and volleyball, this one of the most popular beach activities in Brazil. Frescobol is a lot of fun and can be very addictive. It improves coordination, rhythm, flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular endurance, and can be an excellent all around physical activity, working every part of your body.
I was introduced to frescobol while living in Brazil and I really fell in love with it. I just moved to Miami Beach and would like to find a group of people who love frescobol as much as I do. I have a very flexible schedule right now and am open to playing when people are available. If enough people join the group perhaps we can get a regular schedule going.
