Footbag is a general term for a series of sports involving kicking a small bag or sack using only the feet. It is sometimes known as "hacky sack," which is a trademarked brand owned by Wham-O.

History
Footbag was invented in 1972 by John Stalberger and Mike Marshall from Oregon City, Oregon, USA. Stalberger was recovering from a knee injury and together they had the idea that kicking a small beanbag would help his rehabilitation. They called the sport "Hackin' the Sack." .

Notes to not be added to final page
Pictures!! Look around for good ones relating to each sport. Need to check/get licences. Have a look at similar sports - frisbee for example - and see what formats can be adopted. Should golf and 4 square get mentions?
