In keeping with the transitional weather between summer and fall, today we are introducing you to bubble soccer. It can be played both outdoors and indoors. Bubble soccer is not difficult. Anyone who wants to be active can play it.
The bubble soccer ball
The bubble soccer ball consists of an inner, smaller cover and a larger, outer cover, which are connected to each other with a number of connecting strings. The “airbag” created when the ball is inflated protects the player’s upper body. The top and bottom of the ball are open and there are fixed straps inside. These are pulled over the shoulder. You hold on to the handles.
How do you play bubble soccer?
As in a normal soccer game, the aim is to kick the ball into the opponent’s goal. Only the path is not the same. Bubble soccer is a little reminiscent of rugby, where the opponent is pushed out of the way with full physical effort. Falls are therefore inevitable and part of the game. However, they are largely cushioned by the bubble balls. Nevertheless, there is still a certain risk of injury, as with any team and duel sport. The team size varies, but the game is usually played 5 against 5. It is possible to differentiate between the teams by the color of the bubble balls. Either the connecting strings are different colors or the balls are half-sided. Different colored jerseys simplify the differentiation.
What do I need for a game of bubble soccer?
The size of the pitch is not subject to any rigid specifications. For a 5v5 game, half a soccer pitch offers enough space without being too big. If you play indoors, you can use a size of 15 x 35 m as a guide. You also need two goals or objects to serve as goals. The most important thing is the bubble soccer balls.
