Question 1

What is Altinha?

Accepted Answer

Altinha (Portuguese for 'little high one') is Brazil's beach keep-up game. A circle of players keeps the ball airborne using anything but their hands. It started on the beaches of Rio and is spreading worldwide.

Question 2

Is this a regular soccer ball?

Accepted Answer

No. It's the genuine Mikasa FT5A Goal Master, the FIFA Quality footvolley ball: slightly softer, with laminated panels and a lower bounce than a match soccer ball, so barefoot touches, chest control and headers feel comfortable.

Question 3

Can beginners play Altinha?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Altinha has no score and no pressure; the circle carries you. Start with thigh and instep touches and you'll be trading passes in minutes.
