Safety and attire

Bubble Soccer Safety and What to Wear.

Bubble Soccer is a high-energy contact game. Every session starts with a facilitator-led safety briefing, and the right clothing, venue surface, suit fit and participant self-check all matter before play.

  • Covered sports shoes recommended
  • Safety briefing before play
  • Suit fit and venue checked

What to check

Look before you play.

Most safety questions are practical: shoes, suit fit, floor surface, space, and player comfort.

Starts, stops, restarts and safety pauses stay under facilitator control.

Comfort matters before the contact rounds begin.

The session needs suitable soft turf, enough room for play and a separate area for non-players.

Players should expect running, turning, contact and short active rounds.

What to wear

Dress for movement.

Players should be able to run, turn, fall, get back up, and cool down comfortably.

Sports attire

Wear breathable clothes that can handle movement and light contact.

Covered shoes

Covered sports shoes are the practical choice for turf movement and quick stops.

Remove loose items

Remove spectacles where possible, dangling earrings, necklaces and chains, watches and bracelets, wallets, phones and keys.

Before play starts

Briefing before contact.

Before the first round, facilitators explain the activity flow, boundaries, pause signal, how to fall and the contact that is not allowed.

  • Keep access points closed and non-players outside the arena during active play.
  • Tuck your chin and legs in, then let the bubble suit cushion the fall.
  • Do not try to break a fall with your arms or lift the suit above your waist.
  • No pinning, trapping, kicking, stepping on, deliberate tripping or unsupervised bumping.

Before you join

Pause when a concern applies.

Participants should check their own comfort before joining and can sit out, observe or ask the facilitator about a lower-impact role.

Joint or back concerns

Pause before joining if you have a current or recent shoulder, back, knee or ankle concern.

Breathing or comfort concerns

Pause before joining if you have asthma, claustrophobia, breathlessness or panic concerns.

Age and fit

Bubble Soccer is recommended for participants aged 10 and above. Suit fit, comfort and session pace still need to be checked for the actual group.

Safety FAQ

Check comfort before confirming.

Bubble Soccer is high-energy and physical, so age, suit-fit and suitability questions are worth raising before booking.
