How to Play Footbag

Footbag develops agility and coordination and is a fine game to play alone or with friends. The small footbag, or hacky sack, is about two inches in diameter and can be made of soft leather or woven cotton and filled with beads or sand.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• Footbags

1. Gather players in a circle about four or five feet across.
2. Serve the hacky sack to any player by tossing it gently, about waist high.
3. Keep the footbag in the air using any part of the body but your arms or hands.
4. Pass the hacky sack back and forth around the circle of players for as long as possible.

Tips & Warnings

• When each player in the circle kicks the footbag at least once, it is known as a "hack." Kicking it twice is a "double hack." Three times is a "triple hack," and so on.
• The feet, chest, head, shoulders and knees can all be used to control a hacky sack.
• If a player touches a hacky sack with arms or hands, it "kills" the hack, and game must be restarted.
• Avoid heavy boots in case you accidentally kick another player.
