Frescobol

Players playing frescobol in Ipanema.

Frescobol (Portuguese, lit. fresh ball) is a racket sport originating in Brazil in the 1950s. The game is played between 2 (or occasionally 3) players with solid rackets, most often made of wood or fibreglass, and the aim of the game is to hit a small rubber ball between players for as long as possible. It is often considered a beach activity.[1]
