2007 World Footbag Championships are coming!

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

The 2007 IFPA World Footbag Championships will be taking place August 11-18, 2007. The event will be at the Disney Wide World of Sports® Complex, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. To give you an idea how long footbag has been a legitimate sport (please stop calling it hacky sack :) ), this is the 28th annual Worlds!

Last years World Champion was Vaclav Klouda. And the year before, and the year before…6 times folks! Now 20 years old, Vaclav will be back to defend his title.

Some other well known players we can expect to see: Jan Weber, Ken Somolinos, Zach Jahner, Tina Lewis, Sam Conlon, Andreas Wolff, Scott Milne, Ted Huff, Steve Goldberg…and plenty more! Check out the current registered list to see everyone who will be competing.
