Big Footbag Ideas
What is something you would like to see happen in footbag? Maybe you are working on a certain project or need someone to collaborate with. Maybe you have some idea to ride the wave of this current hack circle momentum or spread the sport further around the world.
Re: Big Footbag Ideas
I have a lot of thoughts on this topic..
But most of my ideas/plans simplify to improving the unification of the footbag community, and engaging better with the newer generation of players.
I think IFPA linking to Modified and endorsing it as the main forum for the footbag community is a great start. I think we should have a news + blog platform thats a collaboration with IFPA and other members of the community that people can subscribe to keep up with whats going on in the world of footbag, and the regular emails will also help keep people engaged with footbag. Perhaps reviving the modified blog site and make it more of a collaborative effort with IFPA and other members of the community. Then I think the community should agree on some chat app for chat style communication and encouraging everyone to join there. (I'd probably suggest discord)
Then I think we should work on providing tools to help with the issues that newer players are facing. Such as how to find good footbag, finding good shoes, guides for learning new tricks, and how to find a group of people to play with.
I made this page to try to answer the question about where to get a good footbag.

I am planning on making a web/mobile app to help players find people to play with, hopefully in the next month or two.
