What is Bubble Soccer and Bubble Ball?
Bubble soccer, also known as bubble ball, is a fun variation of traditional soccer where players step into large, inflatable balls. These balls cover the upper body and allow players to run, jump and bump into each other without risk of injury. The focus is less on the actual soccer game and more on fun and action. Players often bump into each other, leading to spectacular scenes as they try to get the ball into the goal.
The inflatable balls, also called bubbles, are made of transparent PVC or TPU material and are designed to keep the player safe inside, while leaving arms and legs free so players can continue to kick the ball. This activity is suitable for different age groups and is becoming increasingly popular in Switzerland, especially in cities like Zurich.
Origin and History of Bubble Soccer
Bubble Soccer was first invented in Norway in 2011 and quickly became a global trend. The game is now offered in many countries, including Switzerland, and is very popular, especially at events, corporate functions and birthday parties.
Rules and Process of the Game
The rules of Bubble Soccer are largely similar to those of traditional football. There are two teams that try to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal. However, there are some differences:
- Team sizes: Teams usually consist of five to seven players.
- Pitch size: The pitch is smaller than in normal football, which makes the game more intense and faster.
- Duration: A bubble soccer game usually lasts 2x10 minutes, which is sufficient as the game can be very strenuous.
- Physical contact: Unlike in traditional football, intense physical contact is allowed. Players are allowed to knock each other over as long as they do so fairly.
