Footbag Net

Footbag Net. The world's most challenging ball game. "This is incredible! I can't believe anyone can be so coordinated with their feet!" Pele, football legend What is Footbag Net? It's beach volley with your feet. It's setting, spiking, blocking and digging a tiny ball on a court with the same dimensions as a badminton court. It's fun, fast and difficult to master - and you are only allowed to use your feet! Is it a real sport? Yes. The International Footbag Players Association has more than 10,000 members. Every year, a large number of national and international tournaments are held all over the world, including European and World Championships. Once you have learned the basics, you can compete too! Less experienced players are welcome to take part in the intermediate divisions. How do I start playing? Practice just keeping the footbag in the air, either together with a friend or against a wall. Be sure to use both feet as you train your outside kicks, inside kicks and toe kicks. When you start to feel more confident, it's time to set up a net, join your local footbag club and learn all the fancy spikes! What are the rules? Footbag Net is a singles or doubles court game where players use only their feet (below knee) to kick the footbag over the net. The size of the court and the height of the net are the same as in badminton. Players are allowed three kicks per side, and must alternate kicks (like in beach volley). In singles, however, players are only allowed two kicks per side. Serving: Cross court from behind the base line. Serve from the right side when the score is zero or even, and from the left side when the score is odd. Scoring: Games are played to 15 points. Only the serving team can score points.
