FOOTBAG
At Pro Kicker, everything started with Footbag (Aka Hacky Sack). Yves Archambault, the owner of the Pro Kicker trademark, is actively implicated in the sport since 1981.
You can get all of our excellent models in our store.
FOOTBAG Mini Net
Pro Kicker proposes Mini Net kits for youngsters, beginners or just for recreational play.
As Footbag Net is pretty difficult it is reccomended to start over a lower net and a smaller court to tackle the hurdles one might encounter on the court.
PETECA
It all started with Footbag, but our adventure in alternative sports did not end there.
Having met PETECA through a Footbag net colleague, we immediately liked this ”badminton without rackets” alternative sport.
In fact, at Pro Kicker we love PETECA so much that we developed our own model.
The Rio Beach PETECA is gentle on the hands and is very easy to play. When combining the benefits of Footbag, which allows to develop lower limbs skills with those of PETECA for the control the upper limbs movements, you get total coordination training.
PETECA outdoor Net court
Pro Kicker’s PETECA outdoor net set is a slightly scaled-down version of Brazil’s official PETECA pitch.
We’re using the outside lines of the badminton court and we have also lowered the height of the net by 30cm to make the game recreationally friendly.
FLYING DISC (Frisbie)
We offer the excellent Discraft Flying Discs, be it for ULTIMATE, Freestyle, Disc Golf or simply a good game of throw and catch, we have many models on display.
HANDSACK
Handsack
Handsack is an amusing little game where the main object is to catch the sack mainly with the back of the hand.
Footbag as a cross trainer and warm-up tool
Footbag is a lot of fun, and of course it can be a great cross trainer for soccer. If you think about it, someone who can master the flight of such a small object can certainly benefit from this new ability and transfer it to the manipulation of a much bigger soccer ball. That’s how I started in Footbag, in 1981 I was using it as a warm up tool for another sport but it my case it was ice hockey.
ProKicker is based in Montreal, Canada and from here we can ship our great selection of Footbag products all over the world. We also offer workshops locally. As we are committed to make youngsters move, without having to spend a fortune to do so, we also offer other non costly and fun games like Peteca, Flying Disc and Handsack for sale on our site.
Besides being a fun crosstrainer for soccer, I should add that a lot of professional athletes have been using Footbag in the past for crosstraining or warm up purposes, Footbag is a great sport of it’s own. There is Footbag circle, the simplest and non competitive way to play where players just want to keep the Footbag in the air without using hands or arms. Then some get more serious and try to establish a personnal record, this is called consecutive kicks, and presently the record stands at over 62,000 kicks (yes it’s crazy) Then you can play Footbag Freestyle, linking tricks to music, you can find a lot of free videos of hot freestylers on this site as well as complete competition finals nights virtual albums.
Our specialty here at ProKicker is Footbag Net (Kick Volley) which is played on a badminton court with feet only and a faster and rounder Footbag.
We hope that you enjoy your visit and that you will come back often (bookmark us)
