Two days ago I found this video by chance. I’d never heard of a hacky sack. I’ve asked around here in the UK and found I’m not the only one. I’m ordering one now and will be following your tips. I juggle a bit, play didgeridoo and clawhammer banjo and have started rope flow, so this feels like another interesting skill to acquire. Should be fun…I’m 75 in three weeks time…!
The first time I saw this sport was in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1989. I remember a gentleman playing alone and I was impressed by the tricks he did. He let my cousin and I who were about 11 years old play. Then we became obsessed with the game and wanted to find the balls. We used to go into the sports shops in Caracas and surf shops and we didn't know them 😂 until we found them in a surf shop and I bought a leather one! I remember that at that time they were harder. Now I'm 44 years old and I just bought a footbag to practice and exercise. It is a very beneficial physical and mental activity. I prefer it more than a gym. Greetings from Costa Rica ⚽
I've played this game for decades now and couldn't have come up with a better list of tips. Actually, add motions into this list would be one, such as: circling a pylon with your foot, and obviously many others.
I recommend noobs carry a sand bag in thier back pocket at all times. It weighs nothing. Practice toe stalls in line at the grocery store, in the elevator, on break at work someone prolly plays too. I carry 3 in my bag so I can juggle/hackysack at the same time.
Thank you so much. This isn't an overly basic how to video but actually has effective and encouraging advice. I would not have thought of playing barefoot but I will give that a try along with focusing on individual movements and combinations and of course playing much much more. Now that I have some ideas on goals I can set, I'm more likely to get out and try to do something about it. Because I really do suck! Not forever, though....
Awesome Tim! Glad you find the video helpful. At the end of the day, its all about those reps and setting goals, having certain things to work towards helps immensely with that. Only can get better from here! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment. Here for you if you have any questions, hacky sack or general fitness stuff!
Gonna start doing more barefoot and stall training!! Footbag for life is an epic program!!!!
Great takeaways! Stoked you got something from this video and glad you're enjoying the program!

I started on my hackey sack adventure a few months ago and I'm getting better every day

Thanks for sharing Frank! Really cool story. Always amazes me how good of a workout I can get from kicking the bag around for 30 minutes. Keep kickin!
I used it to rehabilitate my left leg after it healed from breaking nearly 11 years ago. Been turning it up hard this past year
Really good! Perfect information for the beginners. I can’t emphasize enough how important the basics are for all success. Thank you.
I like using the steel pellet bag early in the day and switch to the sand later on
Let’s bring hacky back!!
It's happening!
