Footvolley Athens

Footvolley Athens Footvolley για άτομα ανεξαρτήτως φύλου, ηλικίας, φυσικής κατάστασης ή προηγούμενης εμπειρίας

Το footvolley (ελληνιστί "ποδοβόλεϊ") ξεκίνησε ως άλλο ένα σπορ παραλίας. Το άθλημα γεννήθηκε στις παραλίες του Rio de Janeiro περί το 1960 και αναπτύχθηκε αρχικά μέσα στη Βραζιλία και, εν συνεχεία, μεταπήδησε σε Ευρώπη, Ασία, Hνωμένες Πολιτείες Αμερικής και στον υπόλοιπο κόσμο. Σήμερα αποτελεί ίσως το πιο αναπτυσσόμενο άθλημα στη Βραζιλία κι επιπλέον αποκτά όλο και μεγαλύτερη απήχηση παγκοσμίως.

Συχνά, παίζεται και εκτός άμμου, όπως σε γρασίδι (Αγγλία, Κορσική), σε χώμα (Παραγουάη), σε τσιμέντο και σε παρκέ (Νορβηγία).

Το footvolley παίζεται με μπάλα ποδοσφαίρου σε φιλέ ύψους 2.20m για τους άντρες και 2.00m για τις γυναίκες. Το γήπεδο έχει διαστάσεις 8x16 (συνηθίζεται στην Ευρώπη) ή 9x18 (στη Βραζιλία και αλλού). Το παιχνίδι παίζεται σε διάδες (2x2), τριάδες (3x3), τετράδες (4x4) και οι ομάδες, αναλόγως με την κατηγορία, απαρτίζονται από άντρες, γυναίκες ή είναι μεικτές. Οι αθλητές/ριες μπορούν να χτυπήσουν τη μπάλα με οποιοδήποτε μέρος τους σώματος (κεφάλι, ώμοι, στήθος, γόνατα, πόδια) *εκτός* από τα χέρια. Η κάθε ομάδα έχει εώς 3 επαφές για να περάσει την μπάλα στο απέναντι γήπεδο χωρίς να επιτρέπεται κάποιος/α από τους συμπαίκτες/ριες να χτυπήσει την μπάλα δύο συνεχόμενες φορές (όπως ακριβώς και στο beach volleyball).

Στόχος του "Footvolley Athens" είναι να βοηθήσει όσο μπορεί στη διάδοση του αθλήματος αλλά και να πείσει άντρες, γυναίκες και παιδιά κάθε ηλικίας ότι το footvolley δεν αφορά μόνο, ούτε κυρίως, ποδοσφαιριστές και σίγουρα δεν απαιτεί προηγούμενη ποδοσφαιρική εμπειρία.

Eight weeks later!⏳

This injury (perilunate dislocation) reminded me that progress is rarely a straight line. Sometimes the path forward is not about pushing harder, but about slowing down, adapting, and appreciating the environment around you. A much-needed reminder in a life that often accelerates at full speed.

Grateful for my teammate, Pedrinho Mágico, my friends in and out of the footvolley community who keep me sane, my team at Hertha BSC, and especially the team of Physiomanual for guiding me through every stage of recovery.

There is still work to do, but the goal is clear: a return to competition at the International Open on July 25–26. I’m also looking forward to welcoming good friends from the international footvolley community and sharing the experience with the passionate young players who are building something special on the island.

Feels good to lock-in the process sometimes! 🔐

Staying in Motion

Looking back, I realize that a big part of my athletic journey in midlife has also been a personal one — a process of understanding who I was and who I wanted to become.

The only way I managed to do that was by creating space. Space from noise, habits, expectations. For me, sports and training became a form of /active meditation/. Movement wasn’t an escape — it was healing. It brought clarity. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea that maybe we’re “living /too much/ inside our head.” That consciousness is not something hidden behind our eyes. We learn by living: by competing, by training, by being on a long bike ride, by facing real challenges in sport and in life.

The future today often feels heavy — full of fear, worry, stress. Stress is everywhere. But stress can be reframed: not as a threat, but as an opportunity to grow, to overcome, to become more capable of handling what comes next. Being “in motion” doesn’t always mean intensity. It means knowing when to break inertia. Because movement creates awareness — and awareness creates growth.

Back to Europe, but connected forever to Curitiba through its people.

Grateful for the people, the environment, and every moment shared with the crew and technical staff at that made these months in Curitiba feel like home.

From now on, there are a couple of Paranistas in Greece too… and soon, maybe more. 🔴🔵

Footvolley Athens Training Community — επιστροφή στις προπονήσεις.💪🏼

Μετά από ταξίδια, εμπειρίες και εικόνες από διαφορετικά περιβάλλοντα, επιστρέφουμε για να χτίσουμε κάτι δικό μας. Έναν χώρο όπου το άθλημα γίνεται αφορμή για εξέλιξη, σύνδεση και έκφραση.

Αν σου κινεί το ενδιαφέρον, όποια κι αν είναι η ηλικία ή το επίπεδό σου, έλα να μας γνωρίσεις. Ή απλά… σήκωσε ένα χέρι, στείλε ένα μήνυμα, κάνε λίγο θόρυβο και γίνε κομμάτι αυτού.

Οι κοινότητες είναι θερμοκοιτίδες. Έτσι γεννιούνται αθλήματα, συνήθειες, τρόποι ζωής. Και το footvolley — το έχω δει και το έχω ζήσει — μπορεί να αλλάξει ζωές.✨

Kalogria Footvolley Retreat 2026 🇬🇷⚽️

The 3rd edition of the Kalogria Footvolley Retreat is coming — and this time, it comes with a major step forward.

For the first time, we will close the week with an official European Open – League of Champions (Men’s 100 & Women’s 100) on May 3, bringing Greece back into the international footvolley scene with a recognized event.

From April 30 to May 2, we live together. An all-inclusive hotel next to the beach, days built around training, games, meals, and time shared on and off the court. Footvolley is our sport, but also a way of living — and this retreat is about experiencing that together.

This year, the camp is a joint effort with Lukas Kicherer (Germany), something I’m personally very excited about, as we continue building bridges within the European community.

The event keeps growing year by year, and it’s great to see it being embraced so strongly at an international level — a real meeting point between Greek and European players and friends of the sport. And of course, it wouldn’t be Kalogria without the full experience… beach days, games, and our Greek nights and parties together.

At this point, both the camp and the tournament are almost full. If you’re interested or already planning to join, please send me a DM as soon as possible to reserve your spot.

Kalogria. Third edition. Bigger every year. ✨

Being in motion, doesn't mean being alone.
It means being available to the world.
It means growing consciousness and creating space for yourself to seek growth.

We should try to disabuse ourselves of that we are living inside our heads; there's nothing but experience!🫀

Kalogria Footvolley Retreat 2.0 ☀️

🌍✈️ Time to move again.
On October 22nd, I’ll be flying back to Brazil — this time for 5 months straight.

Not an easy choice, but a necessary one. I believe our greatest virtue is to stay on the move: facing challenges, fighting for dreams, believing, creating opportunities, and shaping our future. Staying still is not for me right now.

I want to create. To recharge and contribute. To be close to Vinicius and his journey. To share energy with the amazing footvolley community of Curitiba. To sync with myself and let it all flow.

Once more, I’ll also be joining the , the elite group of Copacabana Sports CWB — a place of intensity, growth, and high-level competition.

And together with Vina, we’re building something special: the European Footvolley Tour . A project that brings European players to Brazil to live the sport fully — training, tournaments, culture, and community. More than a trip, it’s a chance to experience footvolley at its roots, with us as your facilitators.

🇧🇷✨ Excited for what’s ahead, and grateful to be part of this path.
