Zorbing Football Experience

Players will be rotated every few minutes to ensure everybody gets plenty of fun game time. If you can stop yourself howling with laughter for long enough, that's okay but beware of your opponent... They can swoop out of nowhere, dribble the ball forward and smash it home past the goalie while you're in a giggle fit on the floor. You see? There are all kinds of new challenges to face when you throw bubbles into the mix!

Rules are the same as standard football except you are wearing a protective bubble and barging people to the floor isn’t frowned upon. A referee will always be on hand to run through the rules and keep things in order so don't worry kids!

Bubble Football is a hilarious spin on the beautiful game, so strap yourselves into your giant inflatable bubble and step onto the pitch and bump your way through a thrilling five-a-side match.

Football zorbing is also a perfect activity to plan for birthday parties. it's also a great way to boost your kids' physical fitness levels. After all, who can say no to 5-a-side Bubble Football?

You'll really bounce off each other in this activity... too much? Book a bubble football session today and hey, if you make this a regular thing you could even enter a bubble football tournament... move aside FIFA!
