To truly understand the Brazilian style of play, we traveled to São Paulo, where we spent a day with João, an Altinha coach who trains a community of over 200 players every day.

What stood out most was not just the level of skill, but the energy, rhythm, and connection between players. João uses Altinha to bring people together, inspire them to keep improving, and share the joy of the game with others.

His vision goes beyond training. He hopes to see Altinha grow far beyond Brazil and become a global sport, played on beaches, streets, and fields all over the world.
