Beach Soccer (also known as Sand Soccer and Beach Football), is taking the sporting world by storm. Played on a sand pitch measuring 28x37 metres, it focuses on some of the most spectacular aspects of modern football: skill, agility and, above all, goals.
With an average of sixty attempts at goal in a single game (one every thirty seconds!), even the best goalkeepers can't prevent an average scoring rate of one goal every 3-4 minutes - eleven goals in total per game!
Teamwork is critical, with each side consisting of five players and unlimited substitutions to get them through the three 12-minute periods. In beach soccer there is always a winner, with three minutes of overtime and penalty kicks if the scores are still level.
And the unique party atmosphere enjoyed by a beach soccer crowd is maintained during the three-minute breaks between periods, when music and bikini-clad dancing girls keep the entertainment flowing.
