I think there are a few others who kick in Edmonton, but I may be wrong... Did you check the footbag.org club listing for Edmonton?

you, sir, just missed everything.

Shredmonton is (was? Does it technically still exist) one of the best clubs in the country. Big name shredders Byrin Wylie, Kevin Regamy, and Rory Dawson used to hold it down. Byrin has moved back to Onnoway but sessions in the city once a week, Kevin moved to vancouver, but Rory remains while he finishes up his masters. Has a couple up and commers in Kyle warren and denton lewis. They used to kick at the Jamie Platz YMCA on friday nights, you should check it out.

If you are just looking for casual hack, you might want to look else where. These guys are pros of the highest level.

Hey Joseph,

Welcome to the edmonton club.

Byrin has moved back into Edmonton and we are kicking regularily again on Fridays 7-10pm at the jamie platz ymca (near west edmonton mall)and sometimes on sundays too. Kyle and I will probably be kicking at least once a week in the new year at the university of alberta as well.

We do take over churchill square once a year for our annual tournament. Feel free to give me a call on my cell (# is listed on footbag.org club listing) if you'de like to set up or join one of our sessions sometime.

Nah, I think he was talking about Kevin. It's not that he can't do clippers it's that he prefers toes, so much so in fact that he usually plays in socks. Hence the big socks to fill.

Edmonton scene... so hot right now (Actually, it was -35 degrees celcius yesterday).
