About
While protected in your inflatable bubble you will try to score goals. You will play in a designated and marked area. The game is very similar to standard indoor soccer, except that bumping, bouncing, rolling, flipping over and smashing into other players are tactical parts of the game which are actually encouraged.
For more general info about Bubble Soccer take a look at Wellington Indoor Sports’ website.
