Bubble Soccer is soccer and football (also known as Bubble Football) infused into one of the most unique team building activities.

While the premise is fairly similar to regular soccer, there are a few key differences in the rules and format of the game. Here’s a breakdown:

Bubble soccer can be played on a regular soccer pitch with one goal on each side and is played in a game of two halves each running 12 minutes long. There are two teams of 3-5 players, and the goal of the game is for your team to have scored the most goals when time runs out.

The fun bit is that the bubbles protect you from any injuries from collisions, trips, and falls; so you can resort to slightly more ‘aggressive’ tactics than you’d get away with in a regular soccer match.

The bubbles also restrict your upper body movement, make it quite difficult to stand up when you fall over, and cause you to bounce all over the place when a collision occurs.

For all these reasons and more, bubble soccer isn’t just good, fun, exercise – It’s also absolutely hilarious!

Bubble Soccer is best when more people are involved so our rental is ideal for Corporate Team Building, Team Building for Start-ups, Birthday Parties, Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties, Fundraisers, and other social events.

Bubble Soccer is a super easy to play. Players will split into 2 teams based on the colors of the bubble balls or colors of the pennies that will be provided by our Bubble Soccer rental and walk to their respective side of the field. 

To play, each team begins in their bubbles lined up on the baseline closest to their goal. The referee will then place a soccer ball in the middle of the pitch and blow a whistle to initiate the start of the game. It’s then up to the players to kick the ball into the opposing team’s goal by (almost) any means necessary.

Ideally, players will romp on the field as a sumo and bump anyone on sight while guiding their soccer ball to their respective goal until they hear the glorious sound of “GOOAAAAL” from our event coordinator.

In this game, bubbles move fast and also fall as fast! Now, you might think bumping sounds better than being bumped, but not in Bubble Soccer! The whole fun is in the experience of being bumped just like in bumper cars! 

After a few points, Bubble Soccer will come to a halt and our Bubble Soccer Rental in San Diego will continue with a few other games that we invented just for Bubble Balls such as Team Deathmatch, V.I.P, Sumo, and Bubble Soccer Sudden Death.

For safety purposes and to maximize fun, there are a few crucial rules (that will be enforced by a referee):

1. There are no goalies, and players are not allowed to stand in front of their goal for more than 3 seconds at a time.
2. Players can only use force to collide with other players for two reasons: to clear the path of the ball to the rival team’s goal, or to take the ball from a member of the rival team.
3. A player may only bump another player from their side or front-side.  
4. A player’s head must be shielded by the bubble ball at all times. Simply, stay in the ball at all times! 
5. Players who break these rules or act in a way that is deemed to be dangerous to themselves or other players can be given penalties or ejected from the game at the referee’s discretion.

Here are the best tips to prepare you for Bubble Soccer:

• Bring lots of water and wear sports wear. This will let you hydrate yourself often and reduce the weight you need to carry when you’re running around in a Bubble Ball! 
• On impact, practice  lowering your center of gravity by taking the Bubble Ball as close to the ground as possible while still being on your feet. This will provide more stability to you while you are in a ball and give you the advantage in bumping someone rather than being bumped on collision! 
• Actually strategize before the round of games start! This sport is a team game and all team-related sports requires communication and strategy for effective execution! 
• When you fall down while you are in a Bubble Ball, roll to your stomach and plant your feet on the ground to get back up. This is the easiest way to get up! All other methods of getting up such as forcing the ball up while you are on your back may prove to be ineffective and tiring.
• On impact, make sure to move in the same momentum of the person who bumped you. This will make the bump feel light-hearted and fun while also giving you the momentum to perform flips to get back up in a short period of time. Using force to negate bumps may be useful to not getting bumped, but counteracts the fun of Bubble Soccer from our experience.  

We like to keep our Bubble Soccer novel and interesting throughout the entire event. To do so, we have created a few Bubble Ball games that have their own unique rules and objectives!

• Bubble Soccer – This is soccer but in a bubble suit! Most of the rules of soccer applies except people can use their bubbles to bump others. 
•  Team Deathmatch – This game does not require a soccer ball and only a line of players in a bubble ball on both sides. The objective of the game is to bump the opponents before being bumped. Each player in this game has one life. 
• VIP – VIP stands for Very Important Person and is like Team Deathmatch but with a twist, everyone has unlimited lives except the VIP. The objective of each team is to bump the opponent’s VIP while protecting their VIP from the other team.
• Sumo – This game is like a sumo match! Players will stand in a designated circle and will compete with each other by attempting to push one another out of the circle. Last person standing wins! 
• Last Man Standing –  This is like a free for all! 
• Bubble Football – We decided to create a new version of Bubble Soccer with additional rules and coined it as Bubble Football. This game is similar to Bubble Soccer but players who get bumped and touch the ground with their balls will not be allowed to re-enter the round.
