Circle Kicking:
It is the way for begginer players fo start playing in footbag. So:
Circle kicking, also known as playing hacky sack, is the most common game played with a footbag, and it is the game people refer to when they talk about "Hacking it up." Players stand in a circle and keep the bag moving around the circle, with the goal of keeping the bag from touching the ground. A "full hack" is achieved when every person that is in the circle hits the footbag at least once with out it hitting the ground. It is generally not celebrated until that round of hacking is over. It can also be continued and once the last person has hit the bag, the players in the circle can attempt another "full hack" and if successful, the Circle can achieve a "double hack" and can continue on to "triples" and so on until the bag hits the ground. Circle kick is generally accompanied by an unwritten set of etiquette guidelines designed to keep the game fun, friendly, and open to everyone including new players. The most basic rule is to respect all other players. Some other general guidelines include picking up the footbag after you drop it or kick it away, rather than having someone else retrieve it; not serving the footbag to yourself; not spitting in the circle; and not hogging the footbag (often called jestering, or the player may be called a hack-hog) and making sure to pass the bag to players who have not gotten it recently. Most circles are very open to new players and will not ostracize anyone for being less coordinated or well practiced than the rest. Some circles have an unwritten rule that there is no apologizing when a person drops the footbag. This guideline is designed to keep the new players from feeling as if it is their fault that the game is slow, and it keeps the experienced players from having to constantly reassure the new players that it is not their fault, which can get tedious. Also when and if the "Kicking Circle" gets large to the point that it becomes difficult to get the footbag to the opposite side of the circle (usually around 10 or more players) it is common for a player to give up their place on the outside and move to the center of the circle (Usually a more experienced player will take this position) when this happens the center player is most often referred to as the "Nipple".
Variations on circle kicking are numerous and spontaneously created.
