Here at Poppy’s, we are all about community, nostalgia and finding fun ways to touch grass. That’s why we are officially launching the Poppy's Hacky Sack Club and you’re invited to join the circle!
Why Hacky Sack? The Ultimate Low-Stakes, High-Vibe Hobby!
If you grew up in the '80s, '90s, or 2000s, chances are you remember seeing footbag circles forming on campus quads, at skateparks, or outside music festivals. It’s the ultimate equalizer of sports. It doesn't matter if you have zero coordination or if you can comfortably pull off a flying clipper. The goal is always the same: keep the vibe alive and support the group.
It’s active, it gets you away from your phone screens for an hour, and it’s a brilliant way to meet new people in the community without the pressure of a formal networking event. Plus, let's be real, dropping a casual session on a sunny afternoon with a cold boba in hand is just peak summer energy.
Your Next Session: Challenges, Circles, and Prizes!
We aren't just kicking the sack around casually (though there’s plenty of room for that); we're adding a little friendly competition to the mix.
When: Wednesday, June 24th | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PMWhere: Right here at Poppy’s
Who: Absolutely everyone. Beginners, pros and curious onlookers are all welcome.
🏆 The Challenges
To spice things up, we’ll be hosting twomini-challenges throughout the afternoon with some awesome prizes on the line:
The Marathon Circle: Which group can get the highest consecutive number of hacks without the sack hitting the ground?
The Trick Showcase: Got a sweet stall, knee strike or spin? Show us what you've got for a chance to win a crowd-voted prize. Bonus: we’ll record y’all and post to our Instagram for fame!
How to Get Ready
You don’t need to bring a thing except yourself, but if you want to prep like a pro, here are a few tips:
Wear the right kicks: Flat-soled sneakers (like skate shoes or classic canvas trainers) give you the best surface area for catching and kicking the sack.
Grab a drink first: Fuel up with a refreshing iced drink or a boba from the cafe before we start, we’ll even give you $2 off for coming to hang out with us!
Leave the ego at home: The absolute golden rule of hacky sack is that nobody cares if you drop it. The fun is in the saves!
Whether you’re looking to unlock some old middle-school muscle memory or you’ve never touched a footbag in your life, come pull up.
Show up on Friday, June 24th at 3 PM ready to kick it!
