ame History
Frescobol first began in
Brazil
on the beaches of Copacabana,
Rio de Janeiro
just after the Second World War.  Mr. Lian Pontes de Carvalho was said to be the inventor.  He invented the first racquet made of wood in 1946.  But just like surf boards, skis and tennis racquets, fiberglass is now used in the manufacturing of the Frescobol racquet.  Fiber is extremely durable and increases the level of performance and therefore the material of choice for many sports today.  Thanks to the migration of Brazilians, frescobol is one of the most practiced sports on beaches throughout Latin American, parts of
Europe
,
Australia
and
New Zealand
.  The sport is now rapidly becoming popular in the
United States
especially in
California
and
Florida
How to Play
Frescobol is normally played on the beach but can be played anywhere you have some open space.  Standing approximately 15 feet apart, use your racquet to tap the ball to your partner.  A normal racquet-ball may be used.  Without allowing the ball to hit the ground, continue hitting the ball back and forth slowly at first trying to get a rally going while establishing a rhythm.  After some practice, you may begin hitting the ball with much more pace.  The key, just like other racquet sports, is to concentrate on the ball; watching it all the way until it meets your racquet.  Soon you will have fast pace rallies of 20 or more strokes!
Rules
?
There aren’t any, unless you make them up yourself.
It’s a game of endurance and precision between you and your partner… and is full of calorie burning exercise!
(
Of course, always know your immediate surroundings so not to hit someone accidentally with the ball or racquet.)
