INFORMATION ON THE SPORT OF FOOTBAG
The governing body for the sport of footbag is the
International Footbag Advisory Board (IFAB). IFAB is an organization of
players and other members in areas where footbag is played around the world.
Each year, the IFAB convenes after the World Championships to consider and
adopt changes to the Rules of Footbag Sports,
and publishes this rule book for a nominal price through the
World Footbag Association.
The IFAB Rulebook is now on-line!
