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.
