There have been a number of online competitions in recent months including Routines, Sick Links, Weird Tricks, Consecutive Kicks so there has still been plenty of opportunity to kick despite not being able to kick together.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic there has not been much action for in person events, however there have been a number of great online events as mentioned above. More results will be in the next newsletter. I would like to give a big congratulations to Mathieu Gauthier for running the Spring Online Routine competition. He had a great routine and there were some awesome elements of presentation in the video. See more here.

Sebastian Ceballos from Medellin, Colombia appeared on the local TV news about his efforts in the online World Championships so far. He made is first appearance at Worlds last year and made a big impact, reaching the finals. There has been ongoing TV presence for footbag in these kind of articles which will be a really great chance for more promotion when Worlds is held there.

I have been working on a project on Modified, tracking down some of the older footbag articles. Footbag in the News - feel free to share any old articles, it's only the beginning of the project but there are some interesting articles in there.

There's been a lot of talk about IFPA recently and IFPA Executive Director Wiktor Debski has made some vlogs explaining the current situation and what's been happening in recent times.
