The Philly Open is geared towards supporting east coast play,as well as
bringing the sport to a new community. Set up in conjunction with the
Phoenixville YMCA and Y100-Philly's largest radio station-we have exposure
that is not normally accessible to footbag on the east coast. With player
support,a competitive and informative weekend will be had by all!
