footbags

Small juggling pouches

Footbags are small, soft balls kicked and juggled with the feet, typically in a circle of players who keep the bag aloft without using their hands.

The classic footbag is a leather or cloth pouch filled with pellets or sand.

Hacky Sack is the best-known brand, often used generically for the game itself: We played footbag in the quad between classes.
