<description><h2>May 1-3, 2010 / Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Madrid, Spain</h2><h3>Details:</h3><pre>Hey footbaggers!!

We are going to celebrate the 2nd Spanish Open in Madrid (Rivas) the 
1st and 2nd of May! Dates are sure, so you can BOOK NOW!

We already have the place. It's an indoor place, but next to the place there 
are football courts, grass, and a skatepark, so we can also shred outsides.

It's not 100% sure, but the disciplines we are going to do is:
-FREESTYLE: shred 30, sick3, request contest, big 1, routines, doubles 
routines, maybe intermediate routines and women routines (if there are going 
to come enough women and intermediate players).
-NET: we have no Spanish net players, so we have to talk with people that 
could help us.

If you are planning to come, contact with us! We are going to try host you in 
our houses, so if you contact us it will be easier.

See you in Spain!</pre>&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1268338685"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</description>

<title>Footbag Instructors Workshop</title>

<description><h2>May 28-30, 2010 / Stadthagen, Germany (Halle Hinter der Burg, Schulstr. 31655 Stadthagen)</h2><p align="right" style="width: 15em; overflow: wrap;"><pre>Instructors Workshop
shred, spike, golf &amp; game sessions
chill out</pre></p>&lt;p&gt;Hallo liebe Footbag Freunde,

wenn Eure Leidenschaft für Footbag an andere Menschen weitergeben wollt und
Lust auf ein gemeinsames kreatives Wochenende habt, seid ihr beim "Footbag
Instructors Workschop" genau richtig. Es wird jedoch keine Vorträge nach dem
Motto "So wirds richtig gemacht" geben. 

Vielmehr geht an diesem Wochenende darum, Erfahrungen auszutauschen, neu
Spiele zu entwickeln und auszuprobieren und über die Gestaltung zukünftiger
Footbag Workshops nach bzw. vorzudenken. Dabei seid Ihr mit Eurer Krativität
und Euren Fähigkeiten gefragt!

Am Ende dieses Wochenendes hat sich optimalerweise ein Netzwerk von
motivierten und inspirierten Workshopleitern gebildet, auf das Interessierte
(Lehrer, Übungleiter, Vereine, Kampagnen usw.)zugreifen können, z.B. im
Internet auf  -footbag.de/workshops- , das dann zu gestalten sein wird.

Daraus können sich dann interessante Angebote und Jobs für Euch ergeben, aber
vor allem könnt ihr junge Menschen glücklich machen! (Was gibt's Schöneres?) 

Seid in diesem Sinne herzlich gegrüßt von

Stephan &amp; Tim

PS.: Bitten meldet Euch bei Tim an, damit wir Übernachtung und Essen regeln
können und sagt bescheid, wenn ihr besondere Wünsche habt.

&lt;/p&gt;<h3>Details:</h3><pre>Fr. 29.5: Ankommen, Kennenlernen, gemeinsames Essen
Sa. 30.5: Austausch, "Best of" Workshops, neue Spiele (Sauna)
So. 31.5: Zielfindung, Ausblick , Umsetzung , shred, spike &amp; golf

Schlafsack + Isomatte mitbringen</pre>&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1263402562"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</description>

<title>Stanford Freestyle Routine Camp</title>
<link>http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1268461682?ver=2</link>
<description><h2>May 29-31, 2010 / Stanford, CA, USA (Stanford University Campus)</h2><p align="right" style="width: 15em; overflow: wrap;"><pre>Singles Choreographed Freestyle Routines</pre></p>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stanford University Footbag Club will be hosting a combined footbag training camp and 
freestyle routine competition on Memorial Day Weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This will be a very intimate event with hands-on coaching and breaking off into teams to 
choreograph singles routines as a group of up to 4 players, each with a coach and/or consultant 
to help out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each group will choose music and work on a single routine together on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day Saturday, each group will then perform their routines for a panel of 
IFPA-certified judges -- that is, all four players on each team will do the same routine and be 
judged individually. The judges will give verbal feedback to each player, with constructive 
criticism both on the routine and on the players' performances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The players will then have until around 2pm on Sunday to improve the routines and to get 
more  coaching/feedback. At 3pm on Sunday, players will compete in a tournament format,  with 
one player from each group in each pool. (E.g., if we have 16 players, then we end up with 4 
pools of 4, where each group is represented in each pool.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This round of competition will be judged using the same judging system used at Worlds, 
and the top 2 players from each pool will proceed to finals. The group with the most players 
making it to finals will win a prize.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The final round will likely also be on Sunday (at 5pm) and the winner will take home the 
Stanford Cup for the best routine with the best execution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don't miss this unique event, and this great opportunity to become an expert at 
choreographed freestyle routines!  This will of course also be a freestyle jam, so those who want 
to come and shred the whole time and not do routines are certainly welcome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Monday will be a pure "jam" day for those who don't need to leave to head home. (Note: 
Monday is a U.S. holiday.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1268461682"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;</description>
