Hi all.
40% off my training time i feel pain in both calves, even i'm not standing on heels + i use norm insoles (not spenko, but...)

Do you know good method to dispose of pain?

Stretch, drink water, massage, warm up properly, eat bananas (potassium), rest. Those are all good things.

Stretching and hydration are most important.

I have had a similar problem but it's just in my right side.

May be, when you training, you make much more trick on right side than on fliP?

If you're new to footbag it could just be your muscles growing and causing tension.

good advice from ben

I've tried all those things and have stopped playing for a little. I just hit some butterflys and my right calve is causing some pain. It's just in my right side. Any tips on how to suppress the pain would really help me. I hope this doesn't keep me from playing to long.

A temporary fix is to sit in a relaxed position and firmly squeezing your calf in several places with your hand(s), then performing a gentle massage on it afterward. It could just be your body adapting to the stressing conditions that footbag has. But, I find that Ben's advice is the general thing to do to keep yourself in tip-top shape.
