Swedish Open Footbag Net 2006

Yes, we are planning the first Footbag Net competition in Sweden! A few brave souls will take the first small steps to world domination.

At the Worlds 2005 there were only 4 Swedes playing Net. The Swedish Open is an attempt to make some more Swedish people get a bit more serious about the sport - to start going to competitions or at least start training every now and then.

Anyway, we will be playing in the Ralambshov Park in the middle of Stockholm, just a couple of spikes from the city beach. This is a good opportunity for everyone to come to Sweden, spend a laidback weekend in the sun, improve your game, and to build some confidence for the Worlds in Frankfurt.

At the moment, we are counting on something like 20 Swedes, a decent number of Finnish pros, and players from Germany, Great Britain and the Czech Republic...
