Events Offered:
Prize money events will be Net and Freestyle.  I am also 
willing to have other events (Golf?Consecutives etc)on a 
"just for fun" basis, as interest demands.
Demo set up through YMCA and Philly's largest radio station 
(Y100 radio) to bring footag to the local potential players.
The Philly Open is geared towards supporting east coast play,as well as bringing the sport to a new community. Set up in conjunction with the Phoenixville YMCA and Y100-Philly's largest radio station-we have exposure that is not normally accessible to footbag on the east coast. With player support,a competitive and informative weekend will be had by all!
