Footbag net is a sport in which players move a footbag back and forth across a five-foot-high net. Players do not touch the footbag with their hands, but rely on other body parts, and in particular the feet. The game is played individually and in small teams.
Footbag net combines elements of tennis, badminton, and volleyball. Specifically, the court dimensions and layout are similar to those of badminton; the scoring is similar to the old scoring system in volleyball (you must be serving to score); and serves must be diagonal, as in tennis. Footbag net games can be played to eleven or fifteen points, although the winners must win by at least two points.
Other games in which something is kicked back and forth over a net include jianzi, sepak takraw, bossaball and footvolley.
