Attention, US Open 2023 Footbag championship final results.

The atmosphere was fantastic! On behalf of Footbag Erie, I’d like thank each and 
everyone for 
coming out. With attendees and players from all around North America, we ensured 
our community 
is alive and well. 
We hosted 44 signed in participants, 12 additional circle kickers. With our 
downtown location I 
speculate an 
additional 20 passer Byers whom either joined a Footbag circle or wanted to 
learn 
more about the 
sport of Footbag, Including two on duty police officers. Well over two dozen 
spectators, with perfect 
weather 70 degF, 21.11 degC and light overcast. 

Special thanks to:
Josh Gayhart and Scot Hansen for volunteering as our 2023 US Open Freestyle and 
Net Director. 
James Kane for volunteering as DJ, organizing and preparing trophies.,etc. 
always 
being there for 
us.

administrative and 
operations in our absence.

Additionally; The Erie sports commission for, Grant assistance, and promoting. 
To Emily Gaudioso and Michelle Ritz, thank you, you are the soul of events like

not possible, without your love and support.
