Is footbag really an organized sport?
Most certainly! Competitive footbag is governed by the International Footbag Players’ Association, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization with the current board members spread around the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
The IFPA, which is an entirely volunteer, member-run organization, funds the World Footbag Championships, publishes the Rules of Footbag Sports, and sanctions 20-30 major footbag competitions around the world every year.
In fact, the IFPA is the organization that owns and operates this website, and the page you are reading now!
If you’re interested in seeing footbag get Olympic recognition, or if you like what you see here on footbag.org and just want to help out, you have a few options:
- Consider becoming a member;
- Consider making a charitable donation;
- Consider volunteering for one or more of our ongoing development projects.
