Beach Soccer Jam is a faster version of the world's most popular sport.
The event includes beach soccer, Brazilian samba and capoeira dancers, San Diego's #1 DJ, a two-story beer garden, and entertainment.
A soft sand surface for both youth and adult teams allows players to try diving headers, bicycle kicks, and tricks more freely.
The ball is in the air most of the time, with quick flicks, juggling, and volleying more important in order to stay away from an unpredictable surface. There are an average of sixty shots at goal and eleven goals per game at the pro beach soccer level so it's not surprising that it has been dubbed a "soccer highlight show."
