WORLDS AFTER HOURS/SOCIAL EVENTS
We proudly present The World Footbag Championships after-hours social events schedule to the masses! It’s going to be an action packed week, veterans know what to expect, new players we have two words for you; pace yourself. Both in kicking and kicking it. Our advice, don’t overdo it in either department! Below is the schedule of after-hours events. Subject to some revision as need be. It should also be noted this is not offered by or part of the IFPA but rather hosted by the local Sole Purpose Footbag Group independently.
Saturday 8/5/17
SALMON STREET SPRINGS FREESTYLE JAM, 5PM
1000 SW Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97204, corner NW Salmon St. and SW Naito Parkway
Twenty years ago there was an epic jam at this location, we’d like to continue tradition! There’s many players arriving on or before Saturday, for those who wish to get some shred in and check out some of Portland’s best scenery, head on down!

WESTMORELAND PARK FREESTYLE JAM WITH OPENING CEREMONIES/NET COMPETITION
