Most of all, the hackysack doesn't include sparring because you're not hitting eachother or running around. Hackysack can only practice balance because It's not hitting or running.
One of the most important point in sparring (and one of the most difficult too) is the contact. At begining it can be hard to manage a good contact where you dont make the other fail (or yourself, or both). In hackysack you don't touch the other, you manage the ball, you can learn how to make a good contact, smooth and fluid (through the ball contact) without the risk to make a move that make a fail for the other. The ball is light, thats force you to make smooth moves too. Top_handball.tbm is really good for that too.
