The Japan Frescoball Association (General Incorporated Association; Representative Director: Kenji Kuboshima, hereinafter "JFBA"), which promotes the "communication design sport" Frescoball in Japan, announces that its official regional club, "Hiroshima Frescoball Club," will hold a "Frescoball Free Trial & Practice Session" on the morning of Sunday, April 19th at Hiroshima Stadium Park.
Frescoball is a beach sport that originated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1945. Its greatest appeal lies in it being a "cooperative" sport where two players face each other and keep a rally going; it can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere, and with anyone. Hiroshima Frescoball Club (Representative: Mr. Masayuki Amano), which normally operates at Bayside Beach Saka, will take full advantage of the sport's characteristic of being playable anywhere with just a racket and a ball by holding regular trial sessions starting in April at "Hiroshima Stadium Park" (15 Motomachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City).
The park is a grassy plaza in front of the home stadium of Sanfrecce Hiroshima. It is visited by many people even on days without games and serves as a place of relaxation for citizens. The club's activities have also been registered as a circle at Hiroshima Stadium Park, raising expectations for it to serve as a foothold for further popularization. The event will be held on Sunday, April 19th, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, and walk-in participation is welcome. Please feel free to come by.

■ What is the "communication design sport" Frescoball?
Frescoball is a beach sport that originated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Conceived in 1945 at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, it is now enjoyed on beaches around the world. The most distinctive feature of Frescoball is that it is a judged sport where two people facing each other cooperate to continue a rally rather than competing against each other. Matches are played for five minutes while maintaining a distance of 7 meters. Because of how players cooperate to continue the rally, it is also called the "sport of compassion." In October 2025, the JFBA reached a basic agreement with the Rio Frescoball Federation (FEFERJ) to establish "UAFI," the world's first international organization aimed at standardizing international rules. They are moving forward with efforts to unite the global Frescoball community. In Japan, 29 official regional clubs and 5 official student organizations are currently registered.
