Play bubble Soccer

PVC vs TPU

The two main types of material used in bubble soccer balls is PVC or TPU. TPU is the higher quality material and recommended if the balls are used on a regular basis.

TPU balls are more flexible allowing for more bounce. They are also less likely to get scratched, scuffed and torn, and are more resistant to harsh temperatures. TPU material will not only last longer and save you money in the long run, but they are much safer. The last thing you want is for the ball to pop when two people collide.

PVC balls have the tendency to harden when exposed to low temperatures. PVC balls are heavier than TPU balls, and are less environmentally friendly. PVC balls also have the tendency to attract an odor more easily. The only real benefit to PVC balls is the price is lower.

They are both good options, you will just need to figure out how much use you will get out of them.

Handles and Straps

Aside from the ball material, you will want to look at other features to ensure that the safety and comfort of participants isn’t compromised, and your wallet isn’t being taken advantage of.

Check to make sure that the handles are not made from hard plastic. Hard plastic can be very unconformable to the person playing bubble soccer. They can also break with ease, causing the entire ball to be in jeopardy.

Make sure that the bubble soccer suits have straps. Straps are very important to keep participants safe and secure. And make sure that the straps are adjustable.

Standard Bubble Soccer

Standard bubble soccer is very similar to real soccer. Bubble soccer just has less rules like no off-sides and no goalies. You are welcome to have as many people on the field as you would like, this will of course depend on the size of the field and the total number of players you have.

Capture the Flag

Each team will get a flag of some sort on their side of the field. The flag should be in plain sight. Participants will attempt to capture the other team’s flag and bring it back to their side of the field without being touched. You can also use a soccer ball instead of a flag because it’s not always easy to use your hands while inside a bubble ball.

Tag

I’m sure you have played tag hundreds of times in your life so there isn’t much explaining to do. However, with bubble balls, you can play two ways: someone can be tagged "it" when they are either knocked down or when are simply touched.

King of the Circle

Draw a big circle or some sort of designated area where people will begin the game. Participants will bump each other until there is only one person left in the circle.

Relay Race

Relay races are simple, you will have teams with multiple players on each team. Participants will run to a designated spot and back, touch their teammate, then it’s their turn to run. First team with all players across the finish line, wins. You can allow participants to bump the other players while running if you want to add a little spice to the game.
