WexFoot ™
Wexball ™ can be played with all parts of the body. It’s therefore quite possible to create variations of the game, and in particular to adapt Wexball ™ land to a foot game (Football), taking out any hand-play with the ball.
We’ve seen certain major international footballers, such as N’Baye Niang, or even more recently Neymar, Marcello, Da Silva and Alves, all play at WexFoot ™.
WexFoot ™ is played a lot in Brazil. Through misuse of language, the Brazilians have christened it “Futmesa” or “Tekball”, translating it by “tennis ball” or even “Brazilian Ping-pong”, thereby falsely appropriating the origins of this game.
The principle is simple: the land board is adjusted to hip-level, and the ball is hit mainly with the foot or the head. Absolutely no hand-play is allowed. It’s a perfect transposition of WexBall ™ into a foot game!
WexFoot ™ is an excellent training tool for footballers. In order to master ball reception by kicks or headers, or send the ball over to a precise place (passing to a team member or onto the Wex) requires agility, dexterity and concentration. Which is why top-level athletes – especially Footballers – can have fun training. Just take a look at those videos with Neymar, Marcello, Silva and Alves, playing “Futmesa”, or WexFoot ™ in the changing-rooms.
