The ball they play barefoot on the sand.
Soft nylon shell, official Size 5, waterproof. The ball Brazilians keep in the air for hours — without their feet paying for it.
Altinha is a circle, not a match.
No goals, no teams, no winner. A group stands in a ring and keeps the ball off the sand for as long as possible. It gets competitive fast — and the longer the rally, the better the session.
A hard match ball punishes bare feet.
Ten minutes of barefoot keepy-uppy with a stiff match ball and the top of your foot is done. That is why nobody on Copacabana uses one. The soft nylon-wound shell is the whole point.
Built for any place you play.
Beach, park, backyard or street — SambaBall is made for quick flow sessions anywhere. Barefoot touches, passing with friends, or copying those Brazilian beach sequences. It plays the same on all of it.
Bought to copy the beach videos.
Everything else
The short answers.
Is it soft enough for bare feet? +
Yes — the soft nylon-wound shell is exactly why Brazilians play barefoot with this ball. No sting, even on volleys.
Does it work on grass and street? +
All three. Most fun barefoot on sand, but it plays great at the park, the street or your backyard.
Does it come inflated? +
It ships deflated to protect it in transit. Any standard pump with a needle works, and the ball breaks in softer with play.
When will my order arrive? +
Processed within 24–48 hours, then tracked to your door.
