description Frescobol Overview
Frescobol is a Brazilian beach paddle sport that developed on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach after the Second World War. Two or more players use paddles to keep a ball in the air, cooperating to sustain a rally rather than trying to defeat an opponent across a net. The sport is therefore defined by control, rhythm, positioning, and shared play, and is commonly associated with beaches and outdoor recreation in Brazil.
