Footbags, often called hacky sacks, are small, soft bags filled with pellets or sand that are kicked to keep them in the air, either alone or in a circle with friends. The first decision is the type of play, because casual circle kicking suits a soft, crocheted bag, while freestyle tricks suit a bag with a specific fill and stitching.
Fill and size are the next questions. Bags filled with plastic pellets feel light and bouncy, while sand or metal filled bags feel heavier and slower. Panel count and stitching change how the bag sits on the foot.
Durability matters. Leather and suede bags last long but wear on rough ground, while crocheted bags are light but can stretch.
Footbags are a cheap, portable way to exercise and improve coordination, and they suit parks, schoolyards and breaks. Most players start by kicking the bag with the inside of the foot, which gives the most control, before learning toe and outside kicks. Footbags are popular in schools and summer camps because they are cheap and need no special space. A small pack of several bags lets a group play together.
Before buying, check the material, the fill, the size, the stitching and whether it is a single bag or a pack. Keep the bag dry, since wet fill becomes heavy and can rot.
