It was so awesome! Ethan is a pro soccer player who's one luxury item is a hacky sack. He won a reward challenge where the prize was a trip to a village. He kicked with the local kids and they just loved him. One kid got 3-4 in a row. When he left, he gave his bag to one of the kids. They all ran after the truck as Ethan left town. Ethan said it was one of the most memorable days of his life. With the help of footbag, he made a connection with those kids. I thought it was so cool.

There are many differences. I went to the site you listed and they have an "official rules" link: http://www.sepaktakraw.com/istaf/game/Rules/sepaktakraw.htm Where besides the live object (the ball v. a footbag) they list (at first glance) differences such as: three on a side with one substitution during the game, knees-and-above contact (no arms, please), red and yellow penalty cards, quarter and service circles and there are probably more. And if you check out a more familiar site: http://ifc.footbag.org/article-3.html for the rules of footbag's "net game" you will see exactly what the other differences are. Many people prefer takraw because the live object is easier to see, however, that didn't stop hockey. Footbag net focuses on concentration and a higher degree of fine motor skills, while takraw is bouncier, faster-paced and a little more aerial. JP > Okay so what's the deal?

I think there is more than one major difference, however. The way the game is played and the rules are major factors. In Footbag net the same person can't hit the bag more than once. Takraw you can. This difference is a serious factor in strategy. One of the most magnificent moves in Takraw is the roll spike. You NEVER see this in Footbag net. I think, however, both sports have their own special moves and rules that make it exciting. I happen to like Sepak Takraw more than Footbag and I have played both. Footbag has done a wonderful job in giving us a place to talk about moves, tournaments, players, videos, and all kinds of stuff. I would like to see that with Sepak Takraw. I have a club on Yahoo! called USA Takraw. it's a small attempt to "gather up" the Takraw players in the US to try and get something as structured as Footbag. And who knows ... maybe a Footbag net and Sepak Takraw tournament held in the same area might be something to dream about.

I would say Net is more tennis like while Takraw is more volleyball like. If you never seen it, you have to check it out, (see King's Cup footage), visually spectacular with crazy upside down spikes. I like both. There are only a handful of net players that are skillful at both, including the incredible Manu and Sebastian. In southeast asia, Takraw is supposedly big (with paid professional players) and is in the Asian games. Short background on Takraw in the US. Used to be promoted by Kurt S. of USA Takraw (now defunct, I believe). Mostly played by Laotions in Fresno and Minnessota. Less organized than footbag but I think they have more players numbers wise. Also, takraw was successfully taught in PE in the central valley Fresno area. Whether takraw or net is going to grow beyond its underground status in the US remains to be seen. hc -- On Sun, 09 Dec 2001 20:07:12 Phong Le wrote: >Okay so what's the deal?

There are several who can though, but you must travel to see them. Considering that this move was imported from takraw a few years back, it's normal that not everyone is doing it yet. More will come. What you haven't noticed is that the roll spike and sun-back are about the only spectacular plays in Takraw. The size of the ball and it's design make it slower than a footbag, after the initial explosion of a few feet it slows down, eliminates the incredible variety of spikes found in footbag net. Think about it, wether it be volley-ball, tennis or Takraw, there are not many spikes in most net games. The subtility of placement shots is also lost on high level Takraw players where as you can win games from the baseline in footbag like you can in tennis. Lastly, if you want to see the best, as with Takraw, go to them. Travel to a few tournaments where top level players are expected to attend, and my guess is you'll get to see some pretty awesome spiking. Live long and prosper...

But the fact is that Takraw the game is set around the roll spike. Footbag net is (i agree with you) more like tennis. What you haven't noticed is that the roll spike and sun-back are about the only spectacular plays in Takraw. *Not true at all. Some of the best Takraw teams have players that use the powerful spikes as well as short serves, cross court shots, and really smart drop shots. You do have to see the better teams for this, but Takraw has more than a few spectacular plays. But it is more of a powerful game than footbag. This isn't a dis at all, but the truth. Watch a typical Takraw match and a typical Footbag net match. You see A LOT more roll spikes, high flying blocks, and faster action than you do in Footbag net. The size of the ball and it's design make it slower than a footbag, *sLOWER than footbag (smile)?? Ok, this made me wonder if you have seen a Takraw tournament. I've heard a lot of things when Takraw and Footbag are compared, but never that Takraw is slower. In your own words, Footbag net has borrowed moves from Takraw. *I think the difference between Takraw and Footbag depends on the person and what they like better. I happen to like both but I prefer to play Takraw. Shoot, as long as people are playing games with thier feet, I don't have a problem. ===== Jason Frost jdiabolo@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He found out last week his blockages were worse and required immediate attention. He said he was feeling just fine and had no heart damage at this time. Thus he decided the operation should be done now since the drs said he should not wait until after the tax season was over ( he prepares taxes) to have the surgery. He will be in the hospital for at least a week. If you find time, I am sure his spirits would be lifted greatly and assist in his recovery, to hear from anyone and everyone. Jack Lentz Hamto Medical Center-2nd floor 201 State Street Erie, Pa. 16550 1-814-877-7007 All the best to you and yours for this holiday season.

X-Mailer: Web Based Pronto Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-footbag@list.footbag.org Hi, I'm a young footbag player from Wales, United Kingdom (where the sport simply hasnt taken off) and I'm keen to raise my playing standards. With footbag being such an underplayed sport the situation won't improve unless people are told about the sport. I was just wondering how many players use MSN Messenger and would be willing to give their user names to fellow players and bring the footbag community together by chatting about the sport we like. The more able players would find more challenging competition while the novices such as myself would pick up tip and the tricks of the trade more quickly. If the higher profile players were seen to be helping the less accomplished it would also help recruit people to the sport. This is just an idea which I hope will help players of all standards.
