You Have No Idea

The event of a lifetime!

Do you kick hack?  Have you never seen the sport of footbag?  Perhaps you’ve never even heard of it.  Hacky Sack?  No, that’s just a brand and it’s hardly footbag like you will see this weekend in Oakland on Sunday night, and Golden Gate Park on Monday.  Some of the best and most passionate athletes in the world from as far away as Germany and Quebec converge on Northern California’s Bay Area this weekend to compete for the Green Cup.  All the best of the sport will be here including current and former World Champions.

Don’t let the lack of commercialism fool you.  You will find no spoiled athletes here and you will also realize there is no lack of talent or passion.  Everyone is playing for the love of the game and an extreme desire to compete and win.

Admittance to spectators is free.  Come to Peacock Meadow in Golden Gate Park on Monday, May 29th, Memorial Day, and share an afternoon with some of the most talented athletes in the world.  Enjoy the championship matches while you sip on a margarita or enjoy a grilled lunch on your blanket in the sun.  There will be hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, juice, soda, margaritas, beer, etc.  All available for a modest donation which goes to support the event.

Still not convinced it’s worth your time?  Thanks to footbagnet.com you can check out this 2 minute trailor (4MB streaming).  Also, if you can’t make it but still want to support the sport please purchase this very high quality video documentary about the 2005 footbag net season.

Did I mention there will also be music and massage on site for players and spectators to enjoy.  Music is of course free and donations are asked for massage.
