jalgpääs

Jalgpääs is an Estonian term that translates to "footvolley" in English. It is a sport played between two teams of two players each, with the objective of hitting a ball over a net and into the opposing team's court in a way that they cannot legally return it. The sport combines elements of volleyball and soccer, with players using their feet, chest, and head to control and strike the ball. The use of hands or arms is not permitted.

The game is played on a sand court, similar to beach volleyball, and the net height is also comparable. A match typically consists of three sets, with the first two sets played to 15 points and the third set, if necessary, played to 11 points. A team must win by at least two points. Scoring occurs when the ball lands in the opponent's court, or when the opponent commits a fault. Faults can include hitting the ball out of bounds, touching the net, or using illegal body parts to play the ball.

Jalgpääs has gained popularity in various countries, particularly in Europe and South America, due to its dynamic nature and accessibility. It requires a good level of coordination, agility, and teamwork, making it an engaging sport for both participants and spectators. The simplicity of its rules and the requirement for only a ball and a net make it easy to set up and play in various casual settings.
