Game guide

Bubble Soccer Games and Rules.

Play football and other team games in bubble suits. Our facilitators explain each game, set the contact rules and give everyone a turn.

  • Contact rules explained first
  • Short rounds with rotations
  • Game modes for different groups

Core rules

Contact rules, clear limits.

We can change the games to suit your group. These contact rules apply throughout the session.

Controlled contact

Only bump during the game and under the facilitator's supervision. Never pin, trap, kick, step on or deliberately trip another player.

Let the suit cushion the fall

Tuck your chin and legs in and do not try to break a fall with your arms. Facilitators explain the technique before play.

Follow the pause signal

Stay inside the marked play area and stop when the facilitator calls a pause. Non-players remain outside the arena during active rounds.

Game modes

More than one match.

Scoring

Know what wins each round.

Each head-to-head match awards 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. The win condition changes by game mode, and facilitators explain it before each round.

Bubble Soccer

The team with the most goals when time runs out wins. Equal scores mean a draw.

Bubble Dodgeball

Win by eliminating the other team, or by having more players standing when time runs out.

Captain and Invasion

In Captain, get your captain into the other team's zone. In Invasion, get your whole team across.

Rotations

Keep rounds short.

Short rounds give players time to catch their breath. While resting, you can cheer friends on and take photos from outside the play area.

  • Smaller groups can play more continuous rounds.
  • Larger groups take turns, with planned breaks between games.
  • Participants should be aged 10 or above; groups near the minimum age may need more instruction before contact starts.
  • Team names and clear scores help company groups follow the competition.
